Side dishes don't come more Irish than creamy colcannon - try Kevin Dundon's version.
Ingredients
- 21⁄4lb potatoes, scrubbed
- 33⁄4oz butter
- 5oz bacon rashers, finely chopped
- 1 cabbage, small, finely shredded
- 51⁄2fl oz double cream
Directions
1
Tip the potatoes into a large saucepan of water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15-20 mins, or until the flesh is tender when pierced.
2
Meanwhile, heat quarter of the butter in a saucepan, then fry the bacon and half the cabbage for 5 mins. Turn off the heat and set aside. Drain potatoes in a colander and peel while still hot.
3
Mash potato until smooth. Heat cream with remaining butter and, when almost boiling, beat into the potato. Add bacon and cabbage to potato and mix. Season if you want.
