Colcannon
Ingredients
1.5 kg/3 lb potatoes, peeled and halved
450g/1 lb green cabbage, shredded/chopped (or kale)
100g/4oz butter (preferably salted)
A splash of milk
1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
Fresh Parsley
Black pepper
Method
1. Steam or boil the potatoes until cooked. Drain and mash well, add half of the butter and a splash of milk.
2. Steam the cabbage until tender and mix into the mashed potatoes.
3. Melt a knob of the remaining butter in a small frying pan and fry the onion until starting to colour. Stir into the mashed potato mixture.
4. Season the mixture well with parsley and black pepper (to taste) and serve in mounds on individual plates. Make a well in the centre of each mound and add a knob of butter.
N. B: If you like, you can gently fry the shredded cabbage with the onion and add them to the potatoes.
Enjoy
