Time 35m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 medium russet potatoes (about 2 lb.) scrubbed clean
2 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. salt, plus additional to taste
6 tbsp. butter, plus additional for serving
4 c. chopped green cabbage, kale, or a mixture of both
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 bunch green onions, chopped and divided
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 c. half-and-half

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Add them to a Dutch oven and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Boil, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside.
  • In the same Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cabbage or mixture of greens, the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the cabbage mixture ;is softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup of the green onions for garnish and add the remaining green onion and garlic into the cabbage mixture. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the half-and-half and cook 2 to 3 minutes until warm. Add the potatoes, then mash and stir until the mixture is well combined. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Transfer the colcannon to a serving dish and top with more butter, if preferred. Sprinkle with the reserved 1/4 cup green onions.

Every Irish family has its own colcannon recipe, since it's a classic dish. My recipe comes from my father's family in Ireland. It's part of my St. Pat's menu, along with lamb chops, carrots and soda bread. -Marilou Robinson, Portland, Oregon
