Traditionally, colcannon potatoes are made with either cabbage or kale and bacon mixed into mashed potatoes. There are sometimes herbs thrown in and occasionally scallions are added too. In this recipe I added a little garlic. While not traditional, it brings a little something special to the dish. If you are unable to get Yukon Gold, you could use Russet potatoes in this recipe.
Buy a large bunch of kale.Cut out the thick stems and then cut the kale into bite sized pieces.Sauté it the same way that the cabbage is sautéed in this recipe. Obviously, it won’t become translucent, but it will become soft and tender and need closer to 5 minutes.
