- 1 pound untrimmed kale
- 1 onion
- 4 tablespoons butter

Colcannon, a traditional Irish potato dish, can be made with either kale or cabbage. Kale is more
colorful; cabbage may be more readily available. Either is very tasty. Colcannon makes a good
"encore" use for left-over mashed potatoes.
 
Directions
  • Peel potatoes and chop onion. In enough salted water ( 1 teaspoon salt per quart of water)

  • Wash kale, remove center stems and cook in
    boiling water about 5 minutes (use water from the potatoes if you wish). Drain and chop.
  • Heat
    butter in skillet and saute onions until soft. Add chopped kale to onions and stir to mix
    well.
  • Heat milk. Mash potatoes, adding warm milk as needed to desired consistency. Stir in
    onions and kale. Taste for seasoning; add salt if needed. Serve warm.
