Colcannon Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of potatoes
• 6 tablespoons of butter + 1 Tbsp for the kale
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups of chopped kale
• 2 green onions (chopped)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pot, bring some water to a boil, enough that you will cover the potatoes in water.

2. 2

   In the meantime, wash and peel potatoes.

3. 3

   Cut the potatoes in similar sizes to allow uniform cooking.

4. 4

   Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and cover with a lid. Cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are very tender.

5. 5

   Wash the kale, remove the center stem, and using a sharp knife, chop it into small pieces.

6. 6

   Once the potatoes are cooked, strain the water and put them back in the pot. Using a potato masher, mash them.

7. 7

   Gradually add the milk, cream, and butter. Keep mashing until all is well incorporated and smooth.

8. 8

   In a pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter and cook the kale for 2 minutes until slightly wilted.

9. 9

   Add the kale to the mashed potatoes and stir until well combined. Top with some chopped green onions and serve while hot.
