While Colcannon seems to be associated with St. Patrick's Day, the combination of potatoes, cabbage, onion and bacon all through the cooler months of Fall and Winter! I'm always asked to bring... and I'm happy to say that the bowl comes home empty every time! Prep Time: approx. 20 Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 20 Minutes. Ready in: approx. 40 Minutes. Makes 8 servings.
2 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed 4 slices bacon 1/2 small head cabbage, chopped 1 large onion, chopped 1/2 cup milk salt and pepper to taste 1/4 cup butter, melted
Directions 1 Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. 2 Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, reserving drippings, crumble and set aside. In the reserved drippings, saute the cabbage and onion until soft and translucent. Putting a lid on the pan helps the vegetables cook faster. 3 Drain the cooked potatoes, mash with milk and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the cabbage and onions, then transfer the mixture to a large serving bowl. Make a well in the center, and pour in the melted butter. Serve immediately.
