It feels almost disloyal to post this potato salad recipe. This Creamy Potato Salad with Chorizo is my original and favourite potato salad, based on my mother’s recipe. Whenever we have a barbecue I make a big batch of that salad. But it is always nice to try new things and I’ve come around to […]
Now that it’s the 63rd of January (seriously, can you believe it’s still January?!), it’s time for me to get organised and start posting recipes again. Given that it’s the middle of Winter and particularly cold I’m still filling up on comforting carbs, as you can probably tell I’m not one for Dry January, resolutions […]
Potato gratin is an excellent side dish to make ahead if you are cooking for a crowd. I used a recipe of Neven Maguires for years and then started playing around with my own. When I saw a version in Melissa Clark’s Dinner which included leeks I thought it was genius. Potatoes and leeks are […]

Fried potatoes have always been synonymous with comfort food for me. That is probably obvious given my range of potato recipes already on the blog! I’m doing a great job fighting the Irish stereotype here. One of my favourite things to eat growing up was a big fried potato cake that my Mam used to […]
After my recent dalliance with healthy eating, I’m back with a heavy cream sauce. I know sundried tomatoes are considered a bit retro, and not in a cool way, but I recently picked up a packet at a bargain price and was planning to throw them into a salad. Then I remembered this dish that […]
Contrary to what you might think from reading this blog, I don’t cook potatoes all that often. Maybe once a fortnight. That’s very little for an Irish household!
