8 Irish-Inspired Recipes to Serve at Your St. Paddy’s Dinner Party

8 Irish-Inspired Recipes to Serve at Your St. Paddy’s Dinner Party

In college, St. Patrick’s Day meant chugging back green beer at a local pub. (And we’re sure we all collectively shiver at the thought of it.) But now that those times are gone and we’ve swapped the dyed beer for Guinness, we can celebrate with charm. Throw your dinner party hat on, dig out the soda bread recipes, and pick out some festive sweets. It’s time to celebrate properly, and these Irish-inspired dinner recipes will make your guests feel luckier than ever.


Corned Beef

Inspired by St. Patrick’s Day goodness, this corned beef is highly addictive — but we’re not complaining. Making it homemade with a spicy brine will knock your socks off. (via Brit + Co)

Soda Bread

This quick bread gets nice and crusty since it’s baked in a Dutch oven. Slather it with plenty of butter, preferably something Irish like Kerrygold. (via Brit + Co)

Colcannon Irish Mashed Potatoes

If you think your usual serving of fluffy and buttery mashed potatoes is dreamy, you’re going to lose your marbles over colcannon. Mix in chopped kale so you can make it a tad bit healthier. (via Brit + Co)

Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie

Alright, the original version is definitely meat-based, but this option subs lentils for ground beef. (via Brit + Co)

Boxty

These glorious GF Irish potato pancakes are a fab addition to any St. Paddy’s feast, even breakfast. Similar to latkes, they are fried to a light crisp and addictive AF, so be sure to make extra. (via Brit + Co)
