This Colcannon Recipe is the well-known Irish dish, best described as a potato, kale, butter and milk mash, however, in my recipe I substitute kale with Savoy cabbage and thinly sliced leek for extra heartiness and depth of flavor.
I use one cup of wilted cabbage and 1 cup of raw cabbage that brings light, crunchy texture in between the smooth yet coarsely mashed potatoes.
To make Colcannon Recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
In a small pot of salted water that covers 5 medium potatoes, bring to a medium-high boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to simmer for about 30-40 minutes until potatoes are softened and slice through easily. Drain and allow to cool before peeling.
In a large saucepan over medium heat melt 4 tablespoons of butter and add 2 thinly sliced leeks. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until extremely soft.
Add 2 thinly sliced garlic cloves and cook, stirring often, for about 3 minutes until aromatic and leeks begin to brown.
Add 1 cup of thinly sliced cabbage and cook, constantly stirring, until cabbage has wilted.
Pour in 1¼ cups of milk and ½ cup of heavy cream and stir through. Bring to a simmer.
Add boiled and peeled potatoes and the remaining 1 cup of uncooked cabbage.
Using a potato masher, coarsely mash the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve in a large salad bowl with 2 tablespoons of butter and a few sprinkles of scallions on top.
