Colcannon

Posted by Michele at 3:03 PM

3lbs. potatoes (washed, skin on, diced)
1/2 large heat of green cabbage (sliced into thin strips)
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) (sliced)
Salt to taste

In a large pot, bring to a boil the potatoes and cabbage with enough water to cover.  Salt to taste (I use about 1 tablespoon).

When tender (15 to 20 minutes), remove and drain.  In a large mixing bowl, put the butter pieces and cover with the potatoes and cabbage.  Use a potato masher to loosely mash, then whip with the mix attachment until smooth.

Taste and salt appropriately.

(Makes about 8 cups.  This makes amazing potatocakes if you have leftovers!)
