Best 7 Celery Root Red Cabbage And Potato Colcannon Recipes

COLCANNON

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Add them to a Dutch oven and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Boil, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside.
• In the same Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cabbage or mixture of greens, the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the cabbage mixture ;is softened, about 5 minutes.
• Reserve 1/4 cup of the green onions for garnish and add the remaining green onion and garlic into the cabbage mixture. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the half-and-half and cook 2 to 3 minutes until warm. Add the potatoes, then mash and stir until the mixture is well combined. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
• Transfer the colcannon to a serving dish and top with more butter, if preferred. Sprinkle with the reserved 1/4 cup green onions.

CLASSIC IRISH COLCANNON

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a teaspoon of kosher salt. Add the whole potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. (Check this by sticking the largest potato to the center with a sharp knife. If it comes out smoothly on its own, the potatoes are done).
• Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter and half a teaspoon of kosher salt. When the butter melts, add the cabbage and stir to coat. Place the lid on the pan and cook for a minute. Stir the cabbage.
• Cook the cabbage for 3-4 minutes, stirring after each minute so the cabbage doesn't burn. When the cabbage begins to wilt, stir in the water and place the lid on the pan to steam the vegetable. Steam for 3-4 minutes or until the water has mostly evaporated. Set aside.
• Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
• Use a potato masher to roughly mash the cooked potatoes (skins and all). Add the butter and half and half a little at a time and continue to mash and blend the potatoes. They should be fairly smooth, but rustic. (Note: if your potatoes seem too stiff, you can add addtional half and half 2 tablespoons at a time).
• Add the remaining half teaspoon of kosher salt and black pepper. Mix well.
• Stir in the cooked cabbage until well combined. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.

MASHED POTATOES WITH KALE (COLCANNON)

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes with water in a saucepan, add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover partially and cook until tender all the way through when pierced with a knife, about 30 to 45 minutes. Drain off the water, return the potatoes to the pan, cover tightly and let steam over very low heat for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and mash with a potato masher or a fork, through a food mill or in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, while still hot.
• While the potatoes are cooking bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and add the kale. Fill a bowl with ice and water. Cook the kale for 4 to 6 minutes (after the water returns to the boil), until the leaves are tender but still bright green. Transfer to the ice water, allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop fine (you can use a food processor).
• Towards the end of the potato cooking time, combine the milk and the scallions in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let steep for a few minutes. Stir the chopped kale into the hot mashed potatoes and beat in the milk and butter or olive oil. The mixture should be fluffy (you can do this in an electric mixer fitted with the paddle). Add salt to taste and freshly ground pepper. Serve hot, right away, or keep warm in a double boiler: set the bowl in a saucepan filled one third of the way with water. Make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Bring the water to a simmer. Stir the potato and kale mixture from time to time.

CARROT, PARSNIP AND POTATO COLCANNON

Steps:

• Place potatoes, carrots, and parsnips in a saucepan and cover by an inch with water. Add salt to taste, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cover partially. Simmer until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain, return to pot and cover pot tightly. Leave to steam in covered pot for 5 minutes. Peel potatoes.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a heavy skillet and add leek. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to wilt, about 3 minutes. Add salt to taste and continue to cook, stirring, until very tender, 3 to 5 more minutes. Remove from heat.
• Mash vegetables with a potato masher or in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, or put through a food mill. Combine milk and butter and heat until butter melts. Gradually add to purée, stirring or beating on low speed. Stir in leeks and mix until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Put through the fine or medium blade of a food mill, or press through a medium-mess strainer. Garnish if desired with dill or chervil. Serve hot.

MASHED POTATO AND CABBAGE PANCAKES

Steps:

• To prepare the cabbage, remove the outer leaves and quarter a small head or 1/2 of a larger head. Core and place in a steamer above 1 inch of boiling water. Steam 10 to 15 minutes, until tender when pierced with a knife or skewer. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then squeeze out water, and chop fine. Mix with the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the chives, baking powder, marjoram if using, salt, pepper, and flour. Beat the eggs and stir in.
• Begin heating a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and when it is hot carefully scoop up heaped tablespoons of the potato mixture and use a spoon or spatula to ease them out of the spoon into the pan. Gently flatten the mounds slightly with the back of a spoon or a spatula but don't worry if this is hard to do - if they stick -- because when you flip them over you can flatten them into pancakes. Brown on the first side - about 2 or 3 minutes - and using a spatula, flip the mounds over and gently push them down so that they will be shaped like pancakes. Brown on the other side and remove to a baking sheet. Continue with the remaining potato mixture, adding oil to the pan as necessary.

SMASHED RED POTATOES WITH CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes with water in a saucepan, add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover partially and cook until tender all the way through when pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Do not drain the water, but using a skimmer or a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes from the pot to a bowl. Cover tightly and allow to sit for five to 10 minutes. Then, using a towel to hold the potatoes steady (because they're still hot), cut them into quarters.
• Meanwhile, bring the water back to a boil, add more salt if desired and add the cabbage. Cook uncovered until tender, five to six minutes. Drain.
• Heat the butter or oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet, and add the scallions. Cook, stirring, until they soften, about three minutes. Add the potatoes. Smash the potatoes to a coarse mash in the pan with a potato masher or the back of your spoon. Stir in the hot milk, and mix together well until the potatoes have absorbed all the milk. Stir in the cabbage, and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the chives, stir together until heated through and serve.

BROCCOLI CROWN, LEEK AND POTATO COLCANNON

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Meanwhile, cut away thick stems of broccoli crowns as close to the crown as possible, but leave crowns intact. Set aside stems for another purpose (such as pickled broccoli stems). When water comes to a boil drop in the broccoli crowns. Boil 5 minutes, flipping them over from time to time so they cook evenly. Using tongs, carefully transfer to a bowl of cold water, then drain thoroughly, place on a dish towel to drain more, then chop fine and set aside in a bowl.
• Add potatoes to the pot, turn down heat to medium-low and boil gently, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain, return to pot and cover tightly. Let potatoes steam in the dry pot for 5 minutes or longer.
• Heat olive oil over medium heat in a heavy skillet and add leeks. Cook, stirring often, until they begin to wilt, about 3 minutes. Add salt to taste and continue to cook, stirring, until very tender, about 3 to 5 more minutes. Remove from heat.
• Mash potatoes with a potato masher or in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, or put through a food mill. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add finely chopped broccoli and beat together. Heat butter with 3/4 cup of the milk until butter melts and beat into mashed potatoes. Stir in leeks and mix until well blended. If desired, add the last 1/4 cup milk. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot.
