Colcannon - Irish potatoes and cabbage
Report
Colcannon is a classic, comforting Irish side that is easy to make and goes with so many mains.

Ingredients
- 12 oz potatoes
- 4 oz cabbage
- ½ leek
- 2 tablespoon butter or more as needed
- ¼ cup milk or more as needed
Instructions
- Peel and dice the potatoes then set to boil in a pot of boiling water, lightly salted. Simmer until tender to a knifepoint then drain.
- Meanwhile, shred the cabbage and slice the leek in half rings. Warm half of the butter in a small skillet over a medium heat then add the leek. Cook a minute then add the cabbage and cook, stirring, until it wilts.
- Add the remaining butter, milk and some salt and pepper to the potatoes and mash. Add some more milk and butter as needed if your potatoes are still a bit dry or if you want them creamier.
- Mix the mashed potatoes in with the cabbage, mix through and serve.
Notes
- Note, if you want to make this with leftovers, you can still saute the leek and cabbage in a skillet, just do so for less time. For the potatoes, I'd suggest re-heating in the microwave and mash, if not already mashed, with milk and butter as needed.
