Hey, it’s St. Patrick’s Day again! I can hardly believe it has been a year since my first Paddy’s Day Food Parade with my Irish Soda Bread post. How quickly the days go by and now it is time for O’Biren to swing into action again with this somewhat Irish inspired recipe. If cabbage is not for you or if you love potatoes, this dish would work well with your corned beef. 🙂

No culture is more closely associated with the potato than the Irish and St. Patrick’s Day is a good time to celebrate this humble yet versatile vegetable. Potatoes are very mild tasting and combine well with meats and other vegetables. They take on different textures and flavors depending on how they are prepared. These Green Peas Mashed Potato Pancakes are on the soft side but they can be made firmer by reducing the liquid when mashing the potatoes. The green peas helped dress-up the plain mashed potatoes and gave it added sweetness.

This is basically a mashed potato recipe with the addition of green peas. Do give it a try.

    Hi Biren, I just saw your post of Mixed Grain Onigiri on Foodbuzz Top 9 today! Congratulations!!
    I’ve never celebrated St. Patrick Day before but I can always make this delicious mashed potato pancake any day for the boys as they love potatoes very much.

      Thanks Ann…that’s a lovely surprise!

      Yes, these potato cakes can be made any time. There are lots of cabbage and corned beef at the grocery stores at this time and I normally cook it because my boys enjoy it very much.

    Hi Biren – Just heard you’re on Top 9! Congrats 🙂 It’s really well deserved and long overdue!!!

    I love your pancakes, though they may be very simple – the best foods often are just that – simple. I would easily polish off 3 or 4 of these :O

      Thanks Denise! It is a nice surprise. 🙂

      The family loves potatoes and any dish with potatoes is always welcomed. Although the recipe is for 4 to 6 persons, it is barely enough for this family with two extra large appetites here. 🙂

    Congrats on your FB top 9! and these mashed potato pandcakes look perfect! I would like to eat these better than the typical corned beef boiled dinner. I’ll have to check out your soda bread from last year too…so much I’ve missed! 😀

    ½ cup half and half – What is that?

      In the US, half and half is made of half milk and half cream. They come packaged in cartons. If you can’t find half and half, use whole milk.
