This is a very rich dish that would be perfect with a green salad and warm bread. Also a different type of dinner for St. Patrick's Day. The original version was from "The Frugal Gourmet on our Immigrant Ancestors" by the late great Jeff Smith. Read more Remember to make extra mashed potatoes the day before! See less

Thas OK. I like sherry. But Jeff Smith, well, some things I don't like. Still, that doesn't mean the man couldn't cook.
