Irish Colcannon

Irish Colcannon
Typical of yesteryear Irish dinners, this potato-cabbage side dish adds new
interest to mashed potatoes.
6 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
5 cups chopped cabbage
1 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped green onions or leeks
1/2 cup snipped parsley
Salt
White pepper
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
In a large saucepan cook potatoes, covered, in a small amount of boiling
salted water for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Drain.
In a medium saucepan, cook cabbage, uncovered, in a small amount of boiling
salted water for 2 minutes. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes more or until
tender. Drain.
Mash potatoes. Stir in milk, onions and parsley. Season to taste with salt
and pepper. Add butter or margarine and drained cabbage. Stir until butter
or margarine is melted and mixture is combined.
Makes 12 side-dish servings.
