Irish Spuds

The Irish have a thing for potatoes.

The Happy Buddy and I have been enjoying this fun St. Patrick’s-themed book about an Irishman who meets a leprechaun that (instead of handing over his pot of gold) gives him a seed to plant the biggest potato ever.

Here are a few potato-y ideas to celebrate this season!

Did you know that you can use a potato as a stamp???

Mentoring Moments not only shows you how, but also how to make that stamp into a shamrock.

This is a fun and simple craft that your little leprechauns will stamp-ede to complete.

Whip up a batch of this yummy Irish Potato Candy from Martha Stewart.

They may look like little spuds, but they are actually a fudgy-easy-to-make treat!

For a fun side dish at your Irish Feast this Saturday, why not serve up some of these Green Mashed Potatoes from Redhead Recipes?

I’ll let you in on a secret – no food dye involved!!!!!!!!!

Check it out HERE to find out how she got that delicious green color.

Or, you could simply host a Baked Potato Night like Little Wonders’ Days.

Bake your potatoes and provide lots of fun toppings!

Don’t forget to play a rousing game of Hot Potato after you eat. 🙂

*Here is another great post about a Family Baked Potato Night*

And a little spud humor…

Q. When is an Irish Potato not an Irish Potato?

A. When it’s a FRENCH fry! 🙂

“Only two things in this world are too serious to be jested on, potatoes and matrimony.”
Irish saying

Happy Irish Potato-ing! 🙂
