Irish Potatoes {Gluten Free/Dairy Light}

Irish Potatoes… this dish is beyond a shadow of a doubt; hands down, it is my favorite dish ever. While I deeply love this dish, writing this post and publishing this recipe is complicated. I finalized this recipe over the holidays after working on it for two years and took it to my mom's house this past Christmas Eve.

Irish Potatoes are my mom's signature dish, filled with gluten and dairy, and it is absolutely delicious. She makes it for every holiday and special occasion, and everyone loves it. Since I can't do gluten and don't tolerate dairy, I set out to make the gluten-free version, trying to get it close to hers! I shot the pictures for this on January 1st and had the post ready. On January 2nd, my mom passed away at the age of 59 unexpectedly.

All my mom ever wanted was to be the perfect mom, and she was. She loved her children unconditionally and, no matter what, was always there for us. Her life was us kids, and we loved her greatly. She enjoyed working as a middle school physical education teacher for over 20 years. Her passion was gardening, but her yard and patio was an oasis.

This photo was taken one year, almost the day before her passing, it was the best day ever. I spent the night at her house watching Hallmark movies and enjoying some wine the night before. The next day, my mom, sister, niece, and I spent the morning at her house getting our hair and makeup done together. I never wanted a wedding, but now I am so happy I did. My mom had the time of her life that day, and I will forever have the special memories to cherish.

Holidays will never be the same. My sister had already made her Irish Potatoes for Easter, and I do not doubt that they will be delicious, but nothing will ever taste like mom's. We will continue to carry on her traditions and memories, but nothing will ever be the same. I hope when you make this dish, you are making special memories your family will be able to cherish for years to come!!
