Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 2 pounds) Russet potatoes
• 3 cups, shredded Cabbage
• 0.5 cups Low-fat milk
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 3 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 clove, minced Garlic (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks for uniform cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes into a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.

Step 4

Add the shredded cabbage and minced garlic (if using) to the skillet. Saute for 5-7 minutes or until the cabbage is tender.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or fork.

Step 6

Warm the low-fat milk in a microwave or small saucepan until just heated (do not boil). Add the warm milk, sauteed cabbage, and green onions to the mashed potatoes.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine everything into a smooth, creamy mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Serve the Colcannon warm as a side dish or a comforting main meal. Optional: Top with an extra pat of butter or garnish with fresh herbs like parsley.
