Classic Colcannon image

This colcannon recipe came from a Prince Edward Island, Canada, cookbook, if I remember correctly. I do not know the title to it or if it is still in print. There are many different recipes for colcannon, but this one is my favorite, the only one I make now.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 -4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut in quarters
2 tablespoons milk or 2 tablespoons light cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups chopped cabbage
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine

2 tablespoons butter (for frying)

Steps:

  • Cook potatoes in boiling water till tender; drain, reserving water.

  • Mash with hand masher till well-mashed.

  • In the same saucepan as potatoes were cooked in, cook cabbage in reserved potato water for 6 to 8 minutes, until tender.
  • Drain.
  • Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in frying pan and saute onion until tender.

  • Heat throughly, stirring constantly.
