Ingredients
- 3 pounds yellow or red potatoes quartered
- 3/4 cup cream half-and-half, or whole milk
- 8 Tablespoons butter divided
- 1/2 head of Green cabbage cored and chopped
- 1-2 cups kale stems removed and discarded, leaves chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup green onions chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, until fork tender. When soft, drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside.
- In the same pot that the potatoes were boiled in, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped cabbage, season with salt and pepper, and saute until the cabbage softens, around 5-7 minutes. If you want to add kale as well (or use it instead of cabbage altogether), cook the kale for the last 3-4 minutes since it doesn't take as long to wilt as the cabbage does. Add the chopped green onions for the last minute or two. Transfer to a bowl.
- Return the potatoes to the pot and mash them using a potato masher, then stir in the cream and 4 tablespoons of the remaining butter, reserving 2 tablespoons of butter for finishing the potatoes. Stir in the cabbage and green onions, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Transfer the colcannon to a serving bowl and top with the remaining butter to melt over top. Serve immediately.
