One of Ireland’s most well loved and traditional recipes ideal to accompany your spread on Saint Patrick’s Day.
1kg potatoes, peeled and diced
250g savoy cabbage, finely sliced
1 bunch of spring onions, finely sliced
2 tbsp of butter
75ml of milk
Add the potatoes to a pot of cold water, cover, place over a high heat then bring to the boil.
Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Steam the cabbage until tender.
When the potatoes are cooked, remove from the heat, drain into a colander then add back into the pot with the butter and milk.
Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
Add in the spring onion, steamed cabbage, salt and black pepper then stir through with a spoon until evenly combined.
Serve the colcannon straight away with a little extra butter and salt if desired.
