Colcannon - Traditional Irish Dish image

This was a simple traditional Irish dish to prepare. The tender shredded cabbage mixed with the creamy mashed potatoes was perfect. The scallions barely cook and add a lot of flavor to this dish. We really enjoyed this dish and the "knob' of butter on top!

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 potatoes, large
4 c shredded cabbage
2 oz butter
1/2 c scallions (green onion, chopped)
2/3 c warm milk
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 Tbsp chopped parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and cut potatoes and boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, wash and shred the cabbage and cook it in boiling water for about 10 minutes until tender. Drain and mash the potatoes, drain the cabbage.
  • 2. Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the cabbage and stir in chopped green onion. Cook for about 1 minute.
  • 3. Combine the cabbage mixture with the mashed potato. Add enough warm milk to make it creamy. Season with pepper. Serve it garnished with a little chopped parsley. I always add a knob of butter too and let it melt over the top!!!
