Description

Irish colcannon is easier to make when you boil the potatoes and cabbage in one pot, then drain and mash with butter and cream.

Ingredients

2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 head cabbage, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Place potatoes, cabbage, and green onions into a large saucepan; fill with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
2 Drain vegetables and place them into a large bowl. Mash potatoes and vegetables with butter using a fork until mixture is chunky, pouring in half-and-half gradually as you mash. Season with salt and pepper.
