Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I love celebrating St. Patrick's Day, especially since I learned I'm a wee bit Irish. Every year, I make the expected corned beef and cabbage with Irish soda bread or Guinness bread. And of course, I have to watch Darby O'Gill and the Little People and The Quiet Man. But if you're looking for something a little different, here's a fun recipe for a St. Patrick's Day snack from the chefs at Disney World. These Reuben Totchos were only available for a limited time from Restaurantosaurus in Animal Kingdom, but now you can make them at home.
