Colcannon Recipe

Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish that is both nutritious and delicious. There are many variations of colcannon, some including bacon, cabbage, and even eggs. I attempted a recipe a few months back, and put a little spin on it to add an extra nutritional punch!

Depending on how many people you'd like to serve, you can adjust the recipe to your liking. I typically make a recipe that serves four as a side dish. 

Irish Colcannon with Kale

4-5 small (or medium) russet potatoes 

1 tbsp butter, unsalted

1/2 a white onion, diced (scallions also work well)

1-2 cups kale (I used frozen, but fresh also works)

Optional: 1-2 tbsp almond milk (or milk of choice)

Scrub and chop potatoes into small quarters (the skins can be removed, but I prefer to keep them on). Boil potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain water and mash potatoes with onions, butter and milk. Add kale and mix until cooked, about 2-3 minutes. 

And there you have it; a simple, tasty, and nutritious dish that'll leave you feeling like a true Irishman or woman. Enjoy!
