🇬🇧 British

Colcannon is a comforting, creamy Irish mash studded with tender cabbage and bright green onions — a rustic, buttery side that pairs beautifully with roast meats or a simple fried egg. The potatoes are mashed until luxuriously smooth, then folded together with sweet, sautéed cabbage and spring onions for a dish that's both hearty and fresh. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt and cracked black pepper for a classic, soul-satisfying flavor.

Method

1

Peel and cut the Floury Potatoes into even chunks, place them in a large pot of cold water, bring to a gentle boil and simmer until they are easily pierced with a fork (about 15–20 minutes).

2

While the potatoes cook, shred the Green Cabbage and thinly slice the Spring Onions. Heat a knob of Unsalted Butter in a large skillet over medium heat, add the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and beginning to caramelize (about 8–10 minutes); stir in the spring onions for the last minute to soften.

3

When the potatoes are tender, drain them well and return to the warm pot. Mash them until mostly smooth.

4

Warm the Whole Milk (just until steaming) and stir it into the potatoes a little at a time until you reach a creamy consistency; fold in a generous splash of butter for richness.

5

Fold the sautéed cabbage and spring onions into the potato mixture gently so the vegetables stay slightly distinct — the result should be a fluffy mash with ribbons of cabbage throughout.

6

Season the colcannon to taste with Fine Sea Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper, adjusting milk or butter if you prefer it looser or richer.

7

Serve hot as a side, with an optional pat of butter on top and a few extra chopped spring onions for color.
