Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 cups Kale (or cabbage)
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and roughly chop the russet potatoes into cubes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the greens. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the kale (or cabbage) and green onions until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain the boiled potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to release any residual moisture.
Add the butter, milk, salt, and ground black pepper to the potatoes. Mash thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk or butter as needed for desired consistency.
Gently fold the sautéed kale (or cabbage) and green onions into the mashed potatoes until evenly combined.
Transfer the colcannon to a serving dish or individual plates. Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the top, letting it slightly melt into the warm mash.
Serve immediately as a hearty side dish or as a comforting vegetarian main. Enjoy!
