Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 cups Green cabbage
• 4 stalks Green onions (scallions)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into 2-inch cubes, then place them in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water and add a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, finely shred the cabbage and thinly slice the green onions.

Step 4

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the shredded cabbage and sauté until it's tender and slightly wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth.

Step 6

Add the heavy cream, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, milk, and salt to the pot with the potatoes. Mix well until creamy. Adjust the milk quantity if the mashed potatoes are too thick.

Step 7

Fold the sautéed cabbage and sliced green onions into the mashed potatoes. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 8

Season with ground black pepper and additional salt to taste, if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the colcannon to a serving dish, garnish with chopped parsley (optional), and serve warm.
