Sounds good. I always have mashed potatoes left. I kinda do something like this recipe. I top them with cheese and bacon. Then I serve them with sour cream.

Have you actually tried this recipe so as to let us know if it actually works or not?

Why don't you post recipes you actually have made yourself--then telll us a story or background on *your own work*?

Lori--your ried and true idea sounds good!

I understand your advice, Dorine. When I find something I think people will be interested in I just share the idea. Sometimes I post recipes that are my own or that I have tried but if I find a good one I will share it even if I have not tried it. Sorry if it disapoints you.

Thanks, Shannon. If I thought an article was that bad I would just leave it or send the author a message, but I guess everyone is different. I appreciate the gesture.

The recipe does sound good. I love onions in my mashed potatoes anyway. Dorine has a good idea about trying out the recipes. You could take a picture of your masterpiece and post it along with the recipe. :)

I make a similar dish which is Irish in origin called Colcannon, but instead of celery it calls for kale or any other type dark leafy cabbage....when kale was not available I have used Napa type bok choy and it was fine. You add cream and butter and just before serving at table, make a well in the middle of the potatoes and add more melted butter.......YUM!
Needless to say, I don't make it often, but we love it......and no, colcannon is not baked.
You can use leftover colcannon and make it into potato patties or pancakes.......double Yum!

Thanks, Dawn. I believe in varying recipes by using what is available or what suits your taste. Lori had a good variation.

Thank you Lori that is what this book is all about tried and true tested recipes and maybe he has tried but at any rate I will try it for dinner tomorrow night, because it sounds good and I love mashed potatoes.

Tamara, I wish I had a camera. I gave mine to my son because I was not using it much and now it seems like I could use one all of the time. When I find a recipe I like I will post it before trying it. I only post the ones I like. Some of the ones I have posted are my own, some are adaptions of other peoples recipes and some I have run across and they just sound good. It is not unusual for my wife to want a recipe and I will find it on the Internet for her. I will often post it before she cooks it or if I see a good one while looking for the one she wants I will post it.

Sonia, you always have some great recipes. I always feel good when you comment on any I post. Thanks.

Thank you, William..........! You're a welcomed commentor in any of my articles!

Travis.......now you're talking! I love Irish soda bread
We can cap all of the above with a good Irish Coffee Dessert with mounds of fresh whipped cream and laced with Irish Mist!

I am a few months late on stopping by, but this sounds so good William and thanks, for thinking of us, whether you tried it or not, it sounds good and gives me an idea as to what to do with left over mashed potatoes.
