irish brunch potato casserole
I created this dish to go with our Irish Brunch on St Patrick's Day, but you can enjoy this delicious dish any time. It is so tasty & delicious. I used Irish Cheeses & Sharp cheddar, but you can use what ever you like. My husband truly enjoyed his First Irish Brunch that I made with Traditional Irish Bacon & Bangers. The flavors of the cheeses with the potatoes elevates your taste buds, & it is so tasty & appealing when brought to the table. Give it a try, & see if you don't agree. I am posting this recipe especially for my friend here, affectionately called Sis, Zelda Hopkins.
