I went to an Irish pub a few weeks ago in Atlanta, Ri-Ra (which apparently, is also in Arlington, who knew?), and had this amazing potato cake w/ a yummy sour cream sauce. I found their recipe and decided to recreate it for Battle Irish.

Here's the recipe:

Sour Cream Sauce - 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (about 2onions)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Few drops hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper

Potato Cake - 1 1/4 pounds yellow flesh potatoes, peeled, cut, boiled, and mashed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated milk Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sliced green onions (about 4 onions)

Form into cakes, roll in Panko, and fry. Top with sour cream sauce.

Battle St. Pat

Next up, Sat 27th we'all meet for Battle St. Pat!

That's right. Any and all kinds of traditional Irish dishes do battle on Sat March 27th!

So we'll be scarfing down on some awesome Irish Favorites and probably Guiness, or Jameson. However, most likely there will be *no* green beer.

You may consider yourselves reminded.
