Classic Colcannon image

This colcannon recipe came from a Prince Edward Island, Canada, cookbook, if I remember correctly. I do not know the title to it or if it is still in print. There are many different recipes for colcannon, but this one is my favorite, the only one I make now.

I'm not a big fan of cabbage, but I really enjoyed this dish. The potatoes and bacon really balance out the flavor of the cabbage. I'll definitely be making this again.
