A traditional Irish dish of creamy mashed potatoes and sautéed cabbage, perfect for comfort food season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 head cabbage, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes: Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Toss in the diced potatoes and let them simmer for 15-20 minutes until they are tender.
  2. Sauté the cabbage: While the potatoes are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped cabbage and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until it softens.
  3. Mash the potatoes: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well. Return them to the pot and add the remaining butter and milk. Mash until creamy and smooth.
  4. Combine with cabbage: Fold the sautéed cabbage and optional green onions into the mashed potatoes, mixing gently.
  5. Season: Season your colcannon with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting it to your liking. Mix well and serve!

Notes

For an even creamier texture, use half-and-half instead of milk. For a vegan option, substitute butter with olive oil and use plant-based milk.
