Instructions

  1. Add potatoes to a large pot or 5-6 quart Dutch oven. Cover the potatoes with at least 1 inch of water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring everything to a boil. Boil for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender, and then drain in a colander.
  2. Melt the butter in the same pot over medium heat. Add the greens and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they begin to wilt and give off moisture. Stir in the chopped green onions and garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in the milk and scrape the bottom of the bottom to release any bits or pieces that might be stuck.
  4. Add the and the additional teaspoon of salt. Use a potato masher or a large fork and mash the potatoes together, incorporating the greens as you do. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley and enjoy!

Notes

  • How to Prep-Ahead: You can chop the kale, or peel and dice the potatoes a day before.
  • How to Store: Keep leftover colcannon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.
  • How to Freeze: You can either freeze single-sized portions for easy use, or place all of the cooled potatoes in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 to 3 months.
  • How to Reheat: Warm these Irish mashed potatoes back up in a saucepan on the stove or in the microwave.
