Introduction:

 Welcome to Flavor and Taste Cooking, your go-to destination for heartwarming and delicious recipes! Today, we're excited to share a traditional Irish favorite: Colcannon. This comforting dish combines creamy mashed potatoes with cabbage or kale, creating a hearty side that's perfect for any meal. Let's dive into the rich, buttery flavors of this classic Irish comfort food!

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 small head of cabbage or 4 cups chopped kale
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the cabbage or kale. If using cabbage, remove the tough outer leaves and core, then thinly slice. If using kale, remove the tough stems and chop the leaves.

  3. In a separate pot, bring a small amount of water to a boil and add the cabbage or kale. Cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well.

  4. In the same pot used for boiling the potatoes, heat the milk and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the milk is warm.

  5. Add the drained potatoes back to the pot and mash until smooth.

  6. Stir in the cooked cabbage or kale and the chopped green onions. Mix well to combine.

  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  8. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
