Colcannon recipe - The Daily Meal
Total time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
  • 4 thick-cut bacon slices, diced
  • 1 pound cabbage, cored and chopped
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 1/2 pounds yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
  1. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, sauté 4 thick-cut diced bacon slices until crisp.
  2. Remove the bacon pieces and set aside. To the rendered fat in the pan, add 1 pound chopped cabbage and 1 large diced onion. Cover the pan and sauté on low heat until tender, about 20 minutes. Stir frequently.
  3. In the meantime, to a 5-quart stockpot, add 2 1/2 pounds peeled and chopped Yukon gold potatoes. Cover the potatoes with water and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
  4. When the potatoes are done, drain and place them into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the cooked bacon, the finished cabbage and onion mixture, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix on low speed until mashed.
