Ingredients for Alison S Colcannon

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided
  • Nonfat Sour Cream
  • 1 lb green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • Green Onion
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Alison S Colcannon

  1. Place 2 lbs peeled and cubed Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot. Add enough water to cover by about an inch.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  3. Drain the potatoes well.
  4. Return the potatoes to the pot. Add 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of the butter and the sour cream. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  5. While the potatoes are cooking, melt the remaining 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add the minced garlic and sliced green onions to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
  8. Gently stir the cooked cabbage mixture into the mashed potatoes.
  9. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve hot. Garnish with extra green onions, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
