    Directions:

    1. 1
      Cook the potatoes and parsnips in water until tender.

      While these are cooking, chop leeks (greens as well as whites) and simmer in the milk until soft.

    4. 4
      Drain the potatoes, season with mace, garlic, salt and pepper, and beat well.
    5. 5
      Add the cooked leeks and milk (be careful not to break down the leeks too much).
    6. 6
      Finally, blend in the kale or cabbage and butter.
    7. 7
      The texture should be that of a smooth-buttery potato with well distributed pieces of leek and kale.
    8. 8
      Garnish with parsley.
    9. 9
      Colcannon is also made by cooking layered vegetables, starting with potatoes, in a slow-cooker during the day.

      This is fabulous and a definite keeper for us. I omitted the mace due to personal preference, and increased the potatoes used to 2.5 lbs (1 lb just didn't seem like enough for 6-8 servings, nor did it seem like 1 lb would provide the right balance with the amount of leeks, cabbage, etc.). We served it with grilled pork chops and it was very delicious! I think it would be great with a slice of prime rib and some au jus too! YUM! Or with meatloaf! Or... ;) Thanks for sharing!

      This is my new favorite comfort food. SO flavorful and delicious. I did use actual mace. This recipe requires a lot of pots and pans, but the cleanup is totally worth it. Thanks Miss Annie!

      YUMMY! I'm from Ireland, and I loved this recipe. Traditional colcannon is simply potato, cabbage, milk, butter, salt and pepper (it is a simple, easy, staple meal for some people here). This version gives it an interesting twist, lovely taste. Will try again. Colcannon goes great with bacon or gammon!
