Being a traditional potato and cabbage dish, every Irish family has its own recipe for colcannon. On my St. Patrick’s Day menu, it is served with lamb chops, carrots, and soda bread. Marilou Robinson from Portland, Oregon.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium head of shredded cabbage, weighing around 2 pounds.
• 8 medium potatoes weighing 4 pounds, quartered and peeled
• two mugs of whole milk
• Green onions, cut into a cup
• Salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons
• 0.5 teaspoons of pepper
• 14 cup melted butter
• fresh parsley minced
• fried bacon in pieces

Directions to prepare Colcannon Potatoes:

1. In a big pot, add the cabbage and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until cabbage is tender. Drain, saving the cooking liquid, and keep the cabbage warm in a different dish.
2. Combine potatoes and cooking liquid that has been saved in the same pan. Bring to a boil with additional water added to cover the potatoes. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender. In the meantime, in a small saucepan, combine milk, green onions, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat.
3. Potatoes should be drained, then mashed in a big bowl. Stir in the cabbage. Butter should be drizzled over the dish before adding bacon and parsley.
