Categories     Potato

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb potato, sliced
2 medium parsnips, peeled and sliced
2 medium leeks
1 cup milk
1 lb kale or 1 lb cabbage
1/2 teaspoon mace
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Cook the potatoes and parsnips in water until tender.
  • While these are cooking, chop leeks (greens as well as whites) and simmer in the milk until soft.
  • Next, cook the kale or cabbage and have warm and well chopped.
  • Drain the potatoes, season with mace, garlic, salt and pepper, and beat well.
  • Add the cooked leeks and milk (be careful not to break down the leeks too much).
  • Finally, blend in the kale or cabbage and butter.
  • The texture should be that of a smooth-buttery potato with well distributed pieces of leek and kale.
  • Garnish with parsley.
  • Colcannon is also made by cooking layered vegetables, starting with potatoes, in a slow-cooker during the day.
  • Drain vegetables, blend with milk and margarine as above and garnish with parsley.

This is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I always have mashed potatoes left over from Thanksgiving, and this is a great way to use them up.

I love that this casserole can be made with different types of vegetables. I've made it with broccoli, carrots, and Brussels sprouts, and it's always delicious.

This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love it, and they don't even realize they're eating healthy vegetables.

I love the addition of the hard-boiled eggs to this casserole. They add a nice protein boost, and they also make the casserole look more festive.

I'm not a big fan of cabbage, but I loved this casserole. The cabbage was cooked perfectly, and it didn't have that strong cabbage flavor that I usually don't like.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of leftover vegetables in my fridge, and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I used cauliflower instead of potatoes in this recipe. It turned out great! The cauliflower was a great substitute for potatoes, and the casserole was still very filling and satisfying.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon from this recipe. It was still delicious! The vegetables were so flavorful, and the cheese melted over top gave it a nice crispy crust.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the casserole turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not usually a fan of casseroles, but this one was really good. The combination of potatoes, cabbage, and bacon was perfect, and the cheese melted over top gave it a nice crispy crust.

This Irish colcannon winter vegetable casserole was a hit with my family! The flavors were so rich and comforting, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. I especially loved the addition of the bacon, which gave the dish a nice smoky flavor.
