Diane's Colcannon image

I found this recipe on the internet many, may years ago. I don't know who Diane is, but I thank her several times a year for this recipe! It receives rave reviews from guests on St. Patrick's Day-such a pleasant change from boiled potatoes and cabbage!

The colcannon was a bit time-consuming to make, but it was worth the effort.

I added some chopped bacon to the colcannon, which gave it a nice salty, crispy crunch.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my colcannon turned out a bit gluey.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I added some salt and pepper to taste, which helped a lot.
