Ingredients
- 2.5 Pounds Russet potatoes Rinsed
- ½ Head green cabbage Chopped. About 4 Cups.
- ½ Cup heavy cream
- 8 Tablespoons butter Divided
- 2 green onions Finely Chopped
- 6 lices Bacon
Instructions
- Prep the colcannon ingredients by rinsing and peeling the potatoes. Chop the half head of green cabbage. Finely dice the green onions.
- Fry the bacon to desired doneness then remove to a plate. When cool enough to handle, crumble or chop the bacon into small pieces.
- Cook the cabbage in the bacon fat, over medium heat, until soft. About 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Cut the potatoes into cubes. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil then cook the cubed potatoes until they are tender and you can place a toothpick into the potatoes with no resistance.
- Drain the water, and mash the potatoes with a potato masher, or mixer.
- Add 6 tablespoons of the butter and the heavy cream and mix or stir until smooth and evenly combined.
- Fold in the cooked green cabbage, bacon, and green onions.
- Serve warm, topped with the additional 2 tablespoons of butter.
