March 17, 2010 | Posted By: Laura Pagles

Happy St. Patrick's Day Walleters. FatWallet H.Q. is celebrating with an Irish Pot-O-Luck. Below are the lucky St. Patrick's Day recipes Walleteers are sharing for today's lunch. There appears to be a consistent liquor theme in the Irish recipes we choose to share or call Irish. With that, pardon my typos as I cooked my cake with Guiness.

Colcannon Potatoes (Joe S.)
There's bacon in 'em.

Shamrock Shake (Steve K.)
Steve is celebrating a super-sized "gelatinous ocean of flavor." It appears entire communities and cultures revolve around this seasonal goodness.

Irish Cream Brownies (Kendyl L.)
According to one AllRecipes reviewers: "Brownie's would stay together, but I they taste good." -teh what?

Irish French Toast (Jeff S.)
So if you add liquor, it's Irish.

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) loaf French bread
4 large eggs
1 fluid ounce Irish whiskey
1-1/2 fluid ounces Irish cream liqueur
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter
confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions

Cut the bread into 12 slices. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, Irish whiskey, Irish cream liqueur, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Heat some of the butter in a skillet over medium heat until the butter is hot and the foam has disappeared. Press each bread slice into the egg mixture, then fry in the hot skillet until nicely browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add more butter to skillet as needed. Brush each slice with butter, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage (Sallie M.)
Again with the liquor. -Rita-, the RecipeZaar reciperian, tops this with a pineapple glaze…because you know, they see a lot of citrus in Ireland.

Guiness Chocolate Cake (Laura P.)
More liquor. This is more of a double-decker ginormous brownie than a cake.

Guiness (Ted E.)
Ted gets it.

Guiness Stout Beef Stew (Dean I.)
A late entry that I had to add as it calls for - get this - beer and prunes. FYI, Walleteers, you finished this off last year.
