THE IRISH POTATOES



The Irish Potatoes image

My sister gave me this recipe years ago and it has become a staple of our holiday or 'company is coming' type of dinner. It's easy to assemble and can be prepared ahead of time. It pairs well with beef, ham, or chicken. Leftovers, if there are any, reheat well. Everyone always loves 'The Irish Potatoes.' Yes, I know 'The Irish Potatoes' are fattening, but without the butter, whipping cream, and half and half it is just not as good. Substituting margarine or frozen hash browns would be a travesty.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes: These potatoes are known for their creamy texture and hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Boil potatoes until tender: You want the potatoes to be easily pierced with a fork, but not overcooked, as they will become mushy.
  • Mash potatoes until smooth: Use a potato masher or ricer to achieve a smooth and lump-free texture.
  • Season potatoes generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste. You can also add fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a more pronounced flavor, or a mild cheddar cheese for a more subtle flavor.
  • Don't overcook the cheese sauce: The cheese sauce should be thick and creamy, but not too thick. Cook it over low heat and stir constantly to prevent it from burning.
  • Serve potatoes immediately: Creamy Irish potatoes are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Creamy Irish potatoes are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it as a side dish or a main course, creamy Irish potatoes are sure to be a hit.
