Colcannon Bites
One of my favorite ways to turn this classic Irish colcannon Bites into a fun St. Patrick’s Day recipe for parties is to make these little colcannon potato bites with collard greens. Recipes for colcannon are everywhere! This traditional Irish recipe can be prepared in a variety of interesting and entertaining ways. These colcannon bites are going to be a favorite of yours. It’s a toss-up, to be honest.
Colcannon is also known as an “Irish heart cuisine.” I had no idea until I looked up the traditional recipe, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Soul food makes me happy, and it makes everyone else happy as well.
I’ve been smitten with collard greens ever since I made my Collard Green Veggie Wraps. Collard Greens are rich in nutrients, vitamins, and anti-oxidants. I can use them in almost any recipe because they are strong leafed greens.
Yogurt is the key to fluffy mashed potatoes. I used coconut milk-based vegan yogurt in particular. Because they were so smooth, I felt like I was eating clouds. The green onions added a little crunch and a hint of spice.
I have rounded up these Colcannon Bites for you! I want your St. Patrick’s Day to be enjoyable with our recipes. So, if I were you, I’d run quickly to the kitchen. Below, I provide the instructions and ingredients to make these delectable bites.
