What is Irish Colcannon?

Irish Colcannon is one of the most famous traditional Irish recipes. Colcannon is traditionally made from potatoes and cabbage, with milk (or cream), and seasoned with butter, salt, and pepper. It is very mild and was considered a frugal dish that could be eaten year round. Many people will use kale in place of cabbage and will often add leeks, onions or chives for a little flavor. I would describe it as a mild potato soup.

Irish food isn’t very complicated, I think that is one reason I love making it. In addition to the traditional Irish fare like Irish Beef Stew, or corned beef and cabbage, you should try other easy Irish recipes. Check out these Corned Beef Ruben Wraps, and this traditional Irish soda bread.
