Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 pounds) Russet potatoes
- 3 cups, shredded Cabbage
- 0.5 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 3 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 clove, minced Garlic (optional)
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks for uniform cooking.
Place the potatoes into a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.
Add the shredded cabbage and minced garlic (if using) to the skillet. Saute for 5-7 minutes or until the cabbage is tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or fork.
Warm the low-fat milk in a microwave or small saucepan until just heated (do not boil). Add the warm milk, sauteed cabbage, and green onions to the mashed potatoes.
Season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine everything into a smooth, creamy mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the Colcannon warm as a side dish or a comforting main meal. Optional: Top with an extra pat of butter or garnish with fresh herbs like parsley.
