Three favorite Irish recipes, don’t hold the potatoes

Lamb Stew with Root Vegetables

EVEN IF YOU DON’T CELEBRATE ST. PATRICK’S DAY, we think you’ll appreciate their way with satisfying, rib-sticking dishes during the vagaries of March weather. Here are three we really like, all featuring potatoes.

Lamb Stew

There are many variations on this quintessential Irish dish. Our version, shown above, turns winter root vegetables—potatoes, turnips, carrots and onions—and lamb and and dark beer into a rich, satisfying meal.

Pork and Potato Cakes

We are big fans of using up leftovers. Here, leftover mashed potatoes combine with ground pork, grated apple, chopped onion and fresh sage for a quick, economical, thoroughly satisfying dinner.
