It’s time for some St. Patrick’s Day dishes and potatoes are a traditional favorite, along with Corned Beef and Cabbage. It’s from one of my earlier cookbooks and recipe cards that I shared in Winn Dixie and Harris Teeter stores many years ago. It’s a classic and a favorite among those who love their vegetables.  It goes well with beef, chicken or fish.
