Spinach colcannon recipe
Description
This Spinach Colcannon starts by boiling peeled and chopped potatoes until fork-tender, then draining them. Butter is melted in a pan to sauté chopped spinach and minced green onions until wilted but still vibrant. The potatoes are mashed with milk or cream to a smooth consistency, then the spinach and onion mixture is folded in, blending the flavors and textures.
The combination creates a creamy mashed potato dish with flecks of green and subtle onion presence. Seasoning with salt and pepper balances the flavors. Serving hot with extra butter on top provides a rich finish. This dish works well as a warm, hearty side to accompany main courses.
