Irish Potatoes are ideal for St. Patrick’s Day. With the cabbage and potatoes previously included, you should simply add the corned hamburger.
Potatoes Colcannon has been appreciated for over a century and there’s a valid justification: it’s smooth, soothing, and delightful.
This Irish pounded potato dish whips together chives, milk, margarine, bacon, and the perfect measure of cabbage. Indeed, the word Colcannon originates from the Gaelic cal caenan’ which signifies ‘white-headed cabbage.’
Potatoes and cabbage, what could be more Irish than that? Adding a meat dish, obviously.
I like to serve customary Colcannon on St. Patrick’s Day to pay tribute to my Irish legacy, yet this dish is a phenomenal method to tidy up the supper table any day of the year.
Each type has explicit qualities that make it more appropriate for specific dishes. Also, since potatoes are approximately classified by their starch content, it’s critical to know the sort of spud you need for your dish.
Ingredients
1 lb . red potatoes peeled
3 garlic cloves smashed
1 tbsp salt
4 pieces bacon rendered crisp
4 tbsp rendered bacon fat
¼ medium head green cabbage cored and thinly shredded
1 cup kale chopped
½ cup milk
¼ cup heavy cream
2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
salt to taste
1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp chives chopped fine
Instructions
Wash and quarter the red potatoes. Smack the garlic cloves with the side of a kitchen knife to open and place in a large stockpot or Dutch oven with the potatoes and cover with water. Add kosher salt and bring to a boil over high heat, cook until fork tender. Drain and set aside.
Return pan to medium-high heat, cook and render the bacon until crisp. Set aside to cool slightly and chop. Keep bacon fat in pan, add the cabbage and kale and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.
Add the potatoes back to the pan. Add the milk, cream, and black pepper, and bring to a boil. Using a potato masher, mash and stir potatoes until smooth and thoroughly incorporated with cabbage and kale. Add the bacon crumbles and season with kosher salt if needed. Transfer to a bowl, top with chopped chives and serve hot with butter on top.
