Traditional Irish Food - Colcannon

Adapted from: Good Mood Food Blog

Colcannon (cál ceannann) is a thing of beauty in my mind. It is a traditional Irish dish. Colcannon is traditionally made from mashed potatoes, kale or cabbage, salt, pepper, and butter. You can also put several things other items like milk, buttermilk, cream, leeks, onions, and more.

The best part of Colcannon is that is so unbelievably easy to make, simple to perfect, and easy to make special with more ingredients.

You start with mashing up 4-5 large yukon gold potatoes. Or whatever potatoes you like best. I just thought yukon gold would lend itself well to this and make it creamier. Add in some butter, buttermilk, salt, pepper, garlic, and whatever else you want to spice things up with.

Then grab some cabbage or kale and chop it up to smaller bits. I used savoy cabbage when I made this batch. Which was delicious it was light, crispy, and airy.

Add in the cabbage or kale in and continue to mix it up together until it becomes smooth and deliciously creamy.

Plate up some of it, add some herbs, and cook up some shrimp/scallops to enjoy with it.

You can go wrong with this affordable meal !!!!!

Enjoy !!!!
