Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter + extra for serving
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 1/2 medium cabbage (about 3 cups) OR use kale chopped
- 2.5 pounds Russet potatoes cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
- salt & pepper to taste
- Chives or scallions chopped, to taste
Instructions
- Add the butter and oil to the Instant Pot. Sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes, then add the cabbage and continue to cook until it starts to wilt (another few minutes).
- Add the potatoes and water to the Instant Pot. Close the lid and make sure the valve is on "sealing". Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
- Do a quick pressure release. Test to make sure the potatoes are done by inserting a knife. If they're not done, put the lid back on and cook them on high pressure for another couple minutes.
- You can mash the potatoes right in the inner pot on your counter (I don't like to mash them with the inner pot in the pressure cooker in case I damage the heating element). Add the cream, salt & pepper (I'm pretty generous), and chives. Mash until the colcannon is the consistency you like. Serve with butter on top.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Serves 4-6.
- Inactive time indicates the amount of time it takes the Instant Pot to get up to pressure.
- I tested this recipe both with cabbage and kale, and I prefer the taste and texture of the cabbage.
