Colcannon is hearty and richly satisfying, a homey blend of creamy potatoes and kale or cabbage. Some recipes omit the green onions, but I find they lend a little brightness to the dish. Use a medium-starch potato, such as Yukon Gold, if you can find them. Russets also work well.
Serves 6
- 2 pounds medium-starch potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, peeled and quartered
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups coarsely chopped steamed kale
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- Salt, as needed
