IRISH MOCHA SMOOTHIE

Steps:

• In a blender process six coffee cubes, frozen yogurt, chocolate syrup, Irish cream and milk until smooth. Serve in a tall glass.

HOT IRISH MOCHA

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, the sugar, and the milk, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Add the coffee and heat the mixture moderately low heat, stirring, until the cocoa powder and the sugar are dissolved and the mixture is hot, but do not let it boil. Stir in the liqueur and the Bailey's, heat the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, until it is hot, but do not let it boil, and divide it among 6 heated mugs.

IRISH MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 the butter and one tablespoon of the cooking oil in a frying pan over a high heat.
• When the butter starts to bubble, add in the onions and cook, stirring constantly, for five minutes or until the onions start to wilt.
• Turn the heat down very low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are evenly browned and wilted, but not crisp.
• In Ireland, potatoes are always boiled in their skins, drained and then left in the hot pan for the skins to dry and crack before they are peeled and mashed.
• If you like, though, you can also peel the potatoes beforehand, wash the starch off, then boil in salted water until tender.
• Drain and mash.
• Meanwhile, trim and slice the spring onions, including all the dark green bits.
• Place in a pan with the milk and simmer until tender.
• Tip the milk and onion and 25g of butter into the mash and beat with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Melt the remaining butter.
• Serve the mash in a mound on each plate, making a well in the centre of each mound to fill with the remaining melted butter.
• Top with the onions.
• Serve immediately and encourage your diners to dip their spoonfuls of mashed potato into the pools of butter.

IRISH CHAMP

Steps:

• Place potatoes into large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
• Drain well. Return to very low heat and allow the potatoes to dry out for a few minutes. (It helps if you place a clean dish towel over the potatoes to absorb any remaining moisture.)
• Meanwhile, heat the milk and green onions gently in a saucepan, until warm.
• Mash the potatoes, salt and butter together until smooth. Stir in the milk and green onion until evenly mixed. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Serve piping hot in bowls. Set out some extra butter for individuals to add to their servings.

IRISH MOCHA FROST

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine coffee, milk and cocoa. Heat the mixture over moderate heat, whisking, until the cocoa is dissolved, and let it cool. Stir in 1/2 cup of the liqueur, pour the mixture into a metal ice tray fitted with the divider, and freeze it until it is frozen solid. The coffee mixture may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance.
• In a blender, blend the frozen coffee mixture with the remaining 1/2 cup liqueur, scraping down the sides occasionally, until the mixture is smooth but still frozen and divide the mixture between 2 stemmed glasses.
