Ingredients

  • 1 pound potatoes
  • 1 pound green cabbage, sliced
  • 2 small leeks, cleaned and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup milk, or as needed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch ground mace
  • ½ cup butter

Directions

Step 1
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.

Step 2
While potatoes are boiling, simmer or steam cabbage in a separate pot until tender. Drain and chop; set aside and keep warm.

Step 3
Place leeks in a small pot; add just enough milk to cover. Simmer over low heat until leeks are soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 4
Season potatoes with salt, pepper, and mace; mash well. Stir in cooked leeks and milk. Stir in cabbage and heat through until potatoes are pale green in color. Make a well in the center of the colcannon and pour in the melted butter. Mix well and serve.
