Irish Colcannon

 Jan posted about a cabbage and potato mash recently and I found this recipe for an Irish Colcannon to try.  It is delicious!  Here is what I did:

Ingredients

3 medium potatoes cut into chunks

3 cooked breakfast sausages or bacon slices chopped

2 tbs butter for the mashed potatoes

1/4 c milk

3-4 tbs olive oil for sauteing cabbage and onions

1/4 cabbage cut into small pieces

1 onion chopped

salt

pepper

Instructions

Boil potato chunks in lightly salted water for about 15 minutes until tender. Drain the potatoes when cooked, add butter, salt, pepper to taste and mash.

  Meanwhile cut the cooked sausage or bacon into chunks and the cabbage into small pieces.  Saute the onion in olive oil, add sausage or bacon pieces, then add the cabbage and continue sauteing until cooked, 10-15 minutes.  season the cabbage mix  with salt and pepper.  

Mix this into the potato mash.

Repeating myself, it is delicious!
