- 2 lb russet potatoes
- 1/2 head medium size cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup cream
Instructions
- Peel and cut potatoes in thirds. Place them in the pot and fill with water, until covered. Bring to boil and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until soft.
- Meanwhile add half of the butter to the medium size pot. Shred cabbage and add to the pot. Cook on medium until soft, about 5 minutes. Add green onions and cook for another minute.
- When potatoes are done, drain the water and add potatoes to the pot with cabbage. Using a masher, mash vegetables as much as you prefer. You can leave chunks of potatoes or mash it really well, like i did. Add cream and more butter along the way to keep colcannon fluffy and creamy. Add alt to taste.
Notes
Cabbage can be substituted to other greens like kale, collard greens or spinach.
If you dont feel like using two pots, you can make this recipe in the potato pot. Just drain potato water and set potatoes aside (cover with something to keep warm). Add other ingredients in the same pot until done and then add potatoes and mash them! Easy and less dishes to clean
