Love this stuff!! If you have never tried colcannon because it sounds like an odd combination, go ahead and try it. You will be very glad you did. This is a great Irish dish to have on St. Patrick's Day.

I could eat mashed potatoes this way all the time! I love it! I didn't use quite as much salt as called for, and I sprinkled some caraway seeds on top. Tasty comfort food. I'll make this often. Thanx Tarlain!
