Colcannon with Kale

Author: Marinka
Colcannon is a classic Irish side dish that's made from mashed potatoes with green cabbage (kale in my case) and butter - nice and comforting.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces potatoes
  • 4 ounces kale chopped
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 2 slices bacon chopped

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a pot with water and salt and cook for about 20 minutes or until fork tender.
  • At the same time, cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp. Transfer the baked bacon with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
  • Cook the chopped kale in the bacon grease, together with the chopped scallions (reserve some for garnish). Saute until wilted and bright green.
  • Drain the potatoes, mash them (NOTE 1), add some milk and butter if needed and add the kale and scallion. Mix until blended.
  • Add the bacon (reserve some for garnish) and season with salt and pepper. Add more milk if you like it smoother.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and top with green onions and bacon. (NOTE 2)

Notes

  1. You can mash the potatoes until velvety smooth or you can leave some bigger chunks.
  2. You can add some butter on top at the very last moment, if you like.
