Otherwise known as Colcannon, this mashed potato and cabbage recipe mixes sauteed cabbage with deliciously buttery mashed potatoes.
PREPARATION TIME:
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 green cabbage, finely sliced
- 60g butter + extra for cabbage
- 3-4 Tbsp. milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Add potatoes to a pot of water. Bring to the boil and cook until they are tender enough to fall off a fork when you stab them.
- Drain potatoes and return to the pot. Heat for 1 minute or so tossing to dry out. Don’t let them burn on the bottom at this stage. Remove from heat.
- Add butter and milk and mash potatoes with a potato masher or fork until fluffy.
- For the cabbage: Heat a frying pan over medium heat.
- To braise the cabbage: Add cabbage and 1/4 cup of water or stock. Cover and cook for 4 minutes. Remove lid, add salt and pepper and a little oil or butter and continue to cook until cabbage is cooked through and golden and no water remains.
- Alternatively, to saute: Add a little oil or butter to the frying pan and saute until golden and cooked to your liking. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir the cabbage through the mash. Season to taste.
Notes:
To add onion: dice 1/2 a brown onion and cook with the cabbage. OR add a couple of sliced spring onions to the cabbage at the end of cooking so they cook slightly.
Use more or less butter to taste.
