Erika's colcannon - mashed potatoes with cabbage, kale and carrots
by Erika Kerekes January-7-2013
This is my riff on colcannon, the traditional Irish mixture of mashed potatoes and cooked cabbage. Kale and carrots add flavor, color and extra nutrients.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, unpeeled
- 6 Tablespoons butter, plus more for serving
- 1/2 green cabbage, thinly shredded
- 1 bunch kale (Tuscan or curly), thinly shredded
- 2 large carrots, peeled and grated
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Place the potatoes, whole and unpeeled, in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water by a few inches and set the pot over high heat. When the water boils, turn the flame down, cover the pot, and simmer the potatoes until they are tender (a paring knife should go cleanly through to the center of the potatoes). The time will depend on how big the potatoes are, but start checking them after 30 minutes. Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool until you can handle them. While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in another large pot over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, kale and carrots. Cook until the vegetables are tender but not mushy, 10-15 minutes. Heat the cream and milk in a measuring cup in the microwave until warm.Slip the skins off the potatoes and put the potato flesh back in the pot. (Discard the skins.) Add the cream mixture and mash the potatoes with a hand-held potato masher. When they are fairly smooth, add the cabbage mixture and continue mashing to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste (you will need a good amount of salt). Serve immediately with an additional pat of butter on top.
