Red Potato Colcannon Recipe for Paddy’s Day

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 pound small red potatoes, scrubbed and cut in half
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced
• 6 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 1/2 head)
• 1 cup low-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Directions:

1. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a Dutch oven. Place potatoes in a steamer basket and steam, covered, until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cover to keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add cabbage and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low. Stir in milk, salt and white pepper; cover and cook until the cabbage is tender, about 8 minutes. Add the cabbage mixture to the potatoes. Mash with a potato masher or a large fork to desired consistency.
