Easy Irish Colcannon image

Traditional Irish potato dish, very easy to make. Bear in mind that the UK and Ireland weren't exactly known for their cuisine, but for authenticity, this is what you want. For unauthentic but enhanced flavor, you can add bacon bits, or Cheddar cheese, or both.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 head cabbage, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
¼ cup butter, softened

salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes, cabbage, and green onions into a large sauce pan, fill with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my colcannon turned out gluey. I think I might have added too much milk.

This colcannon was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use more cabbage and less kale.

I've made this colcannon several times now and it's always a winner. It's a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes and it's always a crowd-pleaser.

This is a great recipe for a traditional Irish colcannon. I love the addition of the kale, which gives it a nice boost of flavor.

This was my first time making colcannon and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly and it was easy to follow. The only thing I would change is that I would add more salt and pepper to taste.

This colcannon was a hit! I made it for my family and they loved it. The flavors were perfect and the texture was creamy and smooth. I will definitely be making this again.
