Diane's Colcannon

This creamy colcannon with bacon and cabbage is full of traditional Irish flavor. It's perfect for St. Patrick's Day and beyond!

Ingredients

  • potatoes (2.5 pounds)
  • bacon (4 slices)
  • cabbage (0.5 small head)
  • onion (1 large)
  • milk (0.5 cup)
  • butter (0.25 cup)
  • salt (0 )
  • pepper (0 )

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Place potatoes into a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
  3. While potatoes are cooking, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble and set aside. Reserve drippings in the skillet.
  4. Sauté cabbage and onion in drippings in the skillet over medium heat until soft and translucent, 10 to 15 minutes; cover the skillet to decrease cooking time if desired. Remove from heat.
  5. Mash potatoes with milk in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  6. Fold in bacon, cabbage and onion.
  7. Transfer mixture to a large serving bowl. Make a well in the center of potato mixture and pour in melted butter. Serve hot.
