4 stars based on 2 reviews Rate this Recipe

Method

  • Really simple, so here goes:

  • 1. Peel and quarter the potatoes, place in a large pan and boil until soft (but not mushy. 20 minutes should do).

  • 2. Cut out the core of the cabbage and coursely chop the leaves. Place in another large pan and cover with boiling water (from the kettle) and boil for 4-5 minutes, until wilted (not stewed!). Drain and return to the pan. Add one of the knobs of butter and leave until the potatoes are ready.

  • 3. The optional Scallions can be either chopped and thrown in with the cabbage above or chopped and used as a garnish (raw) with the parsley (later).

  • 4. Mash the potatoes with the milk, another of the knobs of butter and little salt and pepper.

  • 5. Take cabbage and mix into the mash.

  • 6. Place in a larege serving dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley (and the optional scallions if you wish).

  • 7. If you have a spare knob of butter plonk it in the middle and enjoy!

  • How's that for a wee bit of Colcannon craic :-)

    Colcannon is mashed potato with a bit of interest or may be craic (Craic, pronounced 'crack' being Irish slang for fun). Thought everyone knew how to make this dish ,-)
