Irish Potato RecipesThe potato is often linked to the Irish and Irish potato recipes. White potatoes were, and still are, an essential staple in the diets of people throughout Europe. In Ireland the potato crop did extremely well for generations and many of our favorite potato recipes were developed in Ireland.
