Colcannon Recipe

My favourite dish is Colcannon Recipe. Ingredients: 3-4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered 3 tbsp. milk or unsweetened/plain soy milk 1/4 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper 2 cups chopped cabbage or kale 2 tbsp. butter or margarine 1/4 cup chopped onions or green onions Directions: Cook potatoes in a pot of boiling water until tender. Drain, reserving water. Place the hot potatoes in a large bowl. Add chopped cabbage to the reserved potato water. Cook 6-8 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, fry the onions in the butter or margarine. When they are cool enough to handle, mash potates with a hand masher or fork. Add the fried onions and cabbage. Add milk, salt and pepper and beat until fluffy. Variations: Indulgent peasants: fry in a touch of oil or margarine to make colcannon patties. Rich peasants: add cheese and a touch of butter to the top. Modern peasants: colcannon can be made with leftover meat. Add some chopped meatless ham when mixing the ingredients together. Nutritious peasants: substitue kale for the cabbage.
