Colcannon
A traditional Irish potato side with kale, scallions, garlic, and lots of butter.
Ingredients
3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
6 tablespoons butter
4 cups chopped kale
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chopped scallions
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup half and half
Instructions
In a medium pot, cover the potatoes with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and add 2 teaspoons of salt and the onion powder. Boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander; set aside.
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the kale, remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring often.
Add scallions and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium low and add half and half. Once half and half begins to simmer, add the potatoes and mash until the mixture is well combined. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
