Colcannon is delicious =)
3 pounds potatoes, scrubbed
2 sticks butter
1 1/4 cups hot milk
Freshly ground black pepper
1 head cabbage, cored and finely shredded
1 (1-pound) piece ham or bacon, cooked the
day before (try boiling it in cola!)
4 scallions, finely chopped
Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish
Steam the potatoes in their skins for 30
minutes. Peel them using a knife and fork.
Chop with a knife before mashing. Mash
thoroughly to remove all the lumps. Add 1
stick of butter in pieces. Gradually add
hot milk, stirring all the time. Season
with a few grinds of black pepper.
Boil the cabbage in unsalted water until
it turns a darker color. Add 2 tablespoons
butter to tenderize it. Cover with lid for
2 minutes. Drain thoroughly before
returning it to the pan. Chop into small
pieces.
Put the ham in a large saucepan and cover
with water. Bring to the boil and simmer
for 45 minutes until tender. Drain. Remove
any fat and chop into small pieces.
Add cabbage, scallions, and ham to mashed
potatoes, stirring them in gently.
Serve in individual soup plates. Make an
indentation on the top by swirling a
wooden spoon. Put 1 tablespoon of butter
into each indentation. Sprinkle with
parsley.
I prefer mine drier (less soupy) and so
don't add that much milk.
I also just reheat the ham rather than
boiling it again.
I usually boilthe ham in plain water but
sometimes boil it in cola for a touch of
decadance.

It sounds pretty good. I would have to
hide the cabbage or nobody in my house
would touch it
