This is a classic Irish dish, I love mashed potatoes and cabbage, I don't know why I didn't think about mixing them, leave it up to the Irish to make something like this. There are a few colcannon recipes here on Zaar, but this one is a little different, I like the fact that the cabbage is sauteed in bacon grease before adding to the potatoes. Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed |
4 slices bacon |
1/2 small head cabbage, chopped and seperated |
1 onion, chopped |
1/2 cup milk |
1/4 cup butter |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Boil potatoes until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes, drain and transfer to a bowl, cover.
2. Cook bacon in skillet, drain, reserve drippings and crumble bacon, set bacon aside.
3. In drippings saute cabbage and onion until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
4. Mash potatoes with milk and butter, stir in bacon, cabbage, onions. Salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve warm.
6. Note - I chop my cabbage fairly course because I love cabbage, you can chop fine if you like.
