My all time favourite way to serve mashed potatoes is in the form of Colcannon and considering that St. Patrick’s Day is coming up it is a perfect time to share it with you all.
Ingredients
5 Potatoes (Yukon Gold is best)
4 Tbsp Margarine
4 Scallions (chopped)
2 Tbsp Minced garlic
1 Bunch of kale (chopped)
3/4 cup Milk
1/2 cup Heavy cream
Salt & Pepper
Directions
- In a large pot, cover chopped potatoes with water and season with salt. Boil and cook until totally soft (approximately 12 minutes). Drain and return potatoes to pot.
- Melt margarine in a large pot.
- Add scallions and garlic and cook until beginning to soften
- Add shredded kale, milk, and cream. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring often until milk comes to a simmer and kale wilts.
- Use a potato masher to mash kale mixture into potatoes until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper and stir.
- Enjoy!
