Colcannon Recipe

Being married to an Irish women means I get to experiment with lots of recipes from the Emerald Isle. My colcannon recipe is a traditional mashed potato dish made with lots of tasty ingredients.

1. Peel the potatoes and cook in boiling water on the stove for 15-20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, chop the bacon into pieces and finely chop the spring onion.
3. Fry the bacon and spring onion for 5 minutes. Then add the washed kale/cavolo nero. Fry for a further 3 minutes then set aside.
4. Once cooked and soft, drain the potatoes from the water and return to the pan. Mash until smooth, adding in the butter and milk whilst mashing. Use a folk to further smooth the potato.
5. Check for seasoning then serve straight away whilst still hot.
