Irish Potato Season 2021

One of the most asked questions in the first part of March at Candies of Merritt is what is an Irish potato?

Irish Potatoes are an old-fashioned, traditional handmade candy made leading up to St. Patrick’s Day, which resembles a freshly dug potato from the ground.

Inside is a coconut cream centre. Rolling it in a cinnamon mixture gives the outside that distinct fresh from the earth look. Don’t try to wash these tasty treats before eating though.

Irish potatoes are priced by weight and will be available starting today until Wednesday March 17th 2021.
