Colcannon

I love everything cabbage, so when I ran across this recipe for colcannon, which is different than others I've tried as it uses kale, I knew I had to hold onto it. I'll be making this soon. I hope it sounds as good to you as it does to me.

1. Peel and boil the potatoes.
2. Chop the kale or cabbage fairly small, discarding the large stems.

5. Mash the potatoes well, and mix with the kale and onion.
