Cheap Irish Colcannon image

This is a college try on a traditional favorite. Sometimes you're too poor to get all the ingredients for colcannon. It's a good quick filler for lunches in college. I like to put some brown gravy in mine, too, for more flavor.

I'm not sure why, but my colcannon always turns out a little watery. I think I might be adding too much milk.

I'm not usually a fan of cabbage, but this dish changed my mind. The cabbage was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. The potatoes and onions were also cooked well and complemented the cabbage nicely.

This Irish colcannon was a hit! The flavors of the cabbage, potato, and onion came together perfectly. I added a little extra butter and cream to make it extra creamy.
