Get your share of the luck of the Irish this March with these delicious Irish dishes for St. Patrick’s Day!
When you think of St. Patrick’s Day, you might think of food colored with green food coloring. And that’s all well and good, but unnaturally green food is NOT traditional Irish food! And thankfully, you won’t find a lot of green food coloring used in this list of Irish side dishes.
Irish food is comforting, incorporating a lot of red potatoes and cabbage. Whether you have some Irish in you or not, you can at least enjoy some cozy classic Irish recipes to celebrate!
This collection of traditional Irish side dishes has the perfect side dishes to serve with your main dish, whether that be a pot roast or corned beef!
With comfort food like Colcannon, cabbage, traditional corned beef, soda bread, potato recipes and more, you and your family can enjoy some of the best Irish cuisine, together.
Reuben Chowder combines all the flavors of the classic sandwich into a creamy soup. It’s also a great way to use up leftover corned beef! You’ll want to lick your bowl clean! Serve with crusty bread and top with diced scallions for extra texture and color.
This traditional Irish Potato Farls recipe is so easy and made with just 4 simple ingredients. Also known as potato bread or cakes, Farls are a tasty classic breakfast from Ireland. This traditional Irish dish is perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any day of the year, served warm with Irish butter on top!
This Irish stew is a filling peasant dish, made with very simple and cheap ingredients like carrots and russet potatoes! This easy lamb stew takes about an hour to prepare.
This delicious recipe for traditional Irish brown bread will have you wanting to kick up your heels and dance an Irish jig! This Irish quick bread is leavened with baking soda, and it's just a touch sweet! I love to eat it slathered with plenty of unsalted butter.

Boxty are tasty, fluffy Irish potatoes that are pan-fried like pancakes and served at breakfast. Top with sour cream and chives for a savory flavor. They can also be used as a great side dish, or Irish appetizers!
This creamy and delicious soup is filled with hearty and healthy vegetables. Use chicken broth or vegetable broth to make this Irish champ! It's perfect for any day of the week, including St. Patrick's Day!
This creamy and lightly seasoned soup is perfect for a cold day. I add extra salt, pepper and some garlic. You might already have the ingredients you need to make it!
This perfectly sweetened cake is great for any time of year and pairs perfectly with a hot cup of tea or coffee. It's a 9-inch cake that can serve 8 to 10 guests.
If you don’t feel like cooking, no stress! We’ve had some fun serving a platter of Irish cheese at St. Patrick’s Day for everyone to try. I highly recommend it!
