How to Make Colcannon

Instructions

    Step 1
  • Boil the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Step 2
  • While the potatoes are cooking, bring another pot of salted water to a boil and add the chopped cabbage or kale. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Step 3
  • Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with a potato masher or a fork until they are smooth.
  • Step 4
  • In a separate small saucepan, heat the milk or cream and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Be careful not to let it boil.
  • Step 5
  • Pour the warm milk and butter mixture into the mashed potatoes and stir to combine. The potatoes should become creamy and fluffy.
  • Step 6
  • Fold in the cooked cabbage or kale, mixing them evenly with the potatoes.
  • Step 7
  • Season the Colcannon with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Step 8
