Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 russet potatoes (2 to 2 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into large chunks
Salt
5 to 6 Tbsp unsalted butter (with more butter for serving)
3 lightly packed cups of chopped kale, cabbage, chard, or other leafy green
3 green onions (including the green onion greens), minced (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup milk or cream

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes: Put the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water by at least an inch. Add 2 tablespoons of salt, and bring to a boil. Boil until the potatoes are fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander.
  • Cook the greens and the green onions with butter: Return the pot to the stove and set over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the pot and once it's hot, add the greens. Cook the greens for 3-4 minutes, or until they are wilted and have given off some of their water. Add the green onions and cook 1 minute more.

EASY IRISH COLCANNON



Easy Irish Colcannon image

Traditional Irish potato dish, very easy to make. Bear in mind that the UK and Ireland weren't exactly known for their cuisine, but for authenticity, this is what you want. For unauthentic but enhanced flavor, you can add bacon bits, or Cheddar cheese, or both.

IRISH COLCANNON



Irish Colcannon image

Colcannon is a very traditional Irish dish which consists of mashed potatoes and cabbage. Traditionally colcannon was served at Halloween; The host would mix a coin, a button, and a ring into the colcannon and whoever found them had the following fortunes: coin meant wealth, button meant spinster or bachelor, and a ring meant marriage in the near future-- kind of fun! I like to serve this with Dublin Lawyer on top on St. Patrick's Day, just to change it up from the typical corned beef and cabbage. I also make this in lieu of mashed potatoes, just because it is so much more interesting. Enjoy!

Provided by Sommer Clary

Categories     Mashed Potatoes

Time 45m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups shredded cabbage (about 1/2 of a cored head)
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1/4 cup water
6 large russet baking potatoes
1 cup heavy whipping cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Scrub and cut the potatoes into quarters, and place in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are tender.
  • Place the cabbage, onion and water in a large pot and turn heat on to high. When the water starts to boil and sizzle (about a minute), cover the pot with a lid and reduce heat to low, and cook for about 8 minutes until they are tender, not mushy.
  • Using a potato ricer, press the potato into the pot of cabbage and onion until all of the potato pieces have been pressed (remove the skins between pressings). Add the butter, cream, salt and pepper and gently mix until it is thoroughly combined. Taste to see if any more seasoning is necessary.
  • Serve warm. If desired, wrap the "coin, ring, and button" in some paper to tuck under the colcannon (you don't want your guests to choke)!
