Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish that marries buttery mashed potatoes with lush greens, typically cabbage or kale. It's comforting, wholesome, and surprisingly easy to make. In this recipe, we'll use kale and onions to add a rich, flavorful twist to the classic colcannon, perfect for any meal or as a hearty side dish.
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Gold for a fluffier mash.
- To save time, peel and chop your potatoes before boiling.
- Make sure your kale is thoroughly cleaned and trimmed of tough stems before chopping.
- Cook the onions until they're just beginning to caramelize for an added depth of flavor.
- Gently warm the milk and butter before adding to the potatoes to keep them from cooling down too much.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as you go. A little more salt or butter can make a big difference.
And there you have it—an exquisite bowl of Colcannon with Kale and Onion. This dish combines the earthy goodness of kale with the creamy richness of potatoes and the subtle sweetness of onions. It's an easy, satisfying way to bring a touch of Ireland to your table. Enjoy it on its own or as a complement to your favorite main course.
