Colcannon is probably my favorite St. Patrick’s Day recipe. It combines the lovely, spring-is-finally-here-greenness of kale and leeks with the always alluring comfort of buttery mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 2 tablespoons butter at room temperature
- 4 ounces kale, trimmed and chopped
- 1 leek, light parts only, rinsed and chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped, white and green parts separated
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons butter, for serving
- ¼ cup green onions to garnish
Directions
Step 1
Boil potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons butter and lightly mash the potatoes.
Step 2
Boil kale and leeks in a large pot of water until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and transfer kale and leeks to a blender. Add white parts of the green onions and 2 more tablespoons butter; blend until smooth, scraping down sides as needed, 1 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Stir pureed kale mixture into the bowl of potatoes and continue to mash. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add cream and stir until desired texture. Top with 2 tablespoons butter and green parts of the green onions.
Chef’s Note:
You can substitute kale with other leafy greens such as Swiss chard or cabbage.
