How To Make Colcannon (Irish Potatoes and Cabbage) — Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn

With its sublime mixture of creamy mashed potatoes and tender cabbage, this recipe for the Irish dish of colcannon requires a declaration of love. That's how good it is.

Keeping with tradition, we didn't mess with the potatoes or cabbage, but swapped the plain melted butter that is typically served in a pool on top for fragrant browned butter.
