Description

This colcannon recipe combines creamy potatoes with vibrant greens for a cozy comfort dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold or Russet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter or ghee
  • 2 cups Chopped kale or cabbage
  • 4 stalks Green onions
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • to taste Pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the peeled and chunked potatoes in a large pot, covering them with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and easily mashed.
  2. In a separate large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped kale and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Stir in the green onions (save a pinch for garnish) and sauté together for an additional minute.
  3. Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and add them into the pot with the kale mixture. Pour in the milk, season with salt and pepper, and mash everything together until fluffy and creamy.
  4. Spoon the colcannon into a serving bowl. Top it off with a sprinkle of the reserved green onions and a pat of butter for that extra indulgence.
