COLCANNON POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the leftover colcannon or plain mashed potatoes with the whisked egg. Stir to combine.
• Sprinkle the flour over the potatoes one tablespoon at a time and mix well to combine before adding another tablespoon.
• Stir in the cheddar cheese and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Use a large cookie scoop to portion out a ball of mashed potato dough. Form each ball into a patty, about 3" in diameter. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter (one that will fit in your refrigerator or freezer). Continue in this fashion until you've used up all the potato mixture. Transfer the potato patties to the freezer for about 5-10 minutes or until they firm up a little, without freezing.
• Add the panko to a shallow bowl and gently shake it into a single layer.
• Coat each of the patties evenly in the panko breadcrumbs and return to the baking sheet. Freeze for an additional 5-10 minutes. (If they're too soft, especially initially, they'll break apart when frying.)
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium high heat. Drizzle in enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot and starts to moire and slick across the surface, it's ready to fry.
• Working in batches, gently add the potato cakes to the skillet and fry for 3-4 minutes until the bottom of the patty is golden brown.
• Carefully flip the patty (they'll be soft) by placing the fingertips of one hand over the patty and lifting with a spatula. Quickly flip the colcannon cakes and brown on the opposite side, another 3-4 minutes.
• Transfer the patties to a dish lined with paper towels. Continue to fry in this manner until you've fried all the patties.

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.
