Colcannon

Prep: 10 mins

Cook: 15 mins

One of Ireland’s most well loved and traditional recipes ideal to accompany your spread on Saint Patrick’s Day.

1kg potatoes, peeled and diced

250g savoy cabbage, finely sliced

1 bunch of spring onions, finely sliced

2 tbsp of butter

75ml of milk

Add the potatoes to a pot of cold water, cover, place over a high heat then bring to the boil.

Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Steam the cabbage until tender.

When the potatoes are cooked, remove from the heat, drain into a colander then add back into the pot with the butter and milk.

Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

Add in the spring onion, steamed cabbage, salt and black pepper then stir through with a spoon until evenly combined.

Serve the colcannon straight away with a little extra butter and salt if desired.
