traditional colcannon uses kale rather than cabbage...try substituting and you'll be pleasantly suprised on how much better the dish will taste.

I like colcannon, and I liked this recipe, though I by far prefer the batch I made with kale - both visually, texture-wise, and taste-wise. A touch of garlic and a parsley garnish seemed a nice touch for me. Edit: I interpreted "Blend in kale..." as "Stir in kale". It looks more attractive and has more texture if you do it this way.

This was pretty good. It's kind of a strange combination of veggies but it works. It is very time consuming. I'm glad I used light butter.

This recipe was a bit of a mess to make but tasted good. It is not a very pretty dish for presentation, but then again it is supposed to represent traditional country food-filling and nutritious. Will stick to your ribs!

I used salt pork to simmer the cabbage, and fried up some bacon, may not be the healthiest...but TOTAL comfort food!!!!

Oh my! Made this for a large easter party and everyone raved about it. A little time consuming but more then well worth it! My tip: season the water the well that you boil your leeks and potatoes. Enjoy!

This was surprisingly good. I was a little nervous about putting cabage and potatoes together, but it works. I simmered the cabbage and leeks in milk and then put the milk and cabbbage in the blender and pureed it. Then I added it to the mashed potatoes and it turned out as a green fluff. I let everyone add the butter, salt and peper to taste. I actually added salt to this for my portion, which almost never happens, and it really improved the taste. My two-year-old liked her "green potatoes" and even her vegie-hating father ate seconds and said he could eat it atleast once a year. ;)

I loved the "clean" taste of this chowder with no meat base. I did make a few changes because it was almost too thick to eat as directed by the original recipe. I used 1.5 cups Half and Half, and 1 cup milk to soften the leeks, then add to the base; and I added 2 tsp salt, a few grinds of pepper, and a lot (1/4 tsp?) of freshly ground nutmeg. Also I hand-chopped everything rather than use a processor or blender so that the vegetable pieces would be big enough to add tactile interest and a variety of colors. Incidentally, after the cabbage was cooked it was a breeze to chop! All together the dish took about 40 minutes to prepare, and serves 6 - 8. It was wonderful immediately, but fantastic the next day!

Okay, so I changed this recipe quite a bit... but oh my GOSH was it good! I didn't have mace or leeks... and wasn't about to run to the store. So I used potatoes, sauerkraut (1 can), green onions (1 bunch, chopped), butter (3/4 cup) and cream (about 3/4 cup). (I never use cream, but I had it from something else, and didn't want it to go bad...) I made this for a combination St. Patrick's Day/Birthday dinner for my mother, with BBQ pork ribs and corn casserole. It was absolutely fabulous, definitely 5 stars! I love the extra flavor that the sauerkraut provided, my whole family loved it too - even my 19 month old!

Excellent Irish dish. I left out the butter & milk, and instead boiled everything in the same vegetable broth. I then added a whole head of roasted garlic for extra flavor. Will definitely make again.

Terrific stuff. Prefer to steam potatoes instead of boiling. Just eyeballed ingredients but probably used only 1/4 cup butter. Garnished with a bit of crumbled bacon and fresh chives. Next time I'll be sure to remove the rib parts of the cabbage and chop more finely. Definitely use the leeks!

This is one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. The only addition I have made is to use half and half instead of milk for added richness. This is wonderful with Roast chicken and I have done it for 200 guests at a fundraiser paired with roast pork loin.

I agree with PATS1942 in that I saute the cabbage in butter, but I also saute the leeks, too. You can never have too much butter in potatoes, as far as I'm concerned. My family loves colcannon. I serve it with stew over it. The stew always has Guinness stout in it, too!

I'm not sure how to rate this recipe since I had never heard of it and don't know how it should taste. It was a hit and non-cabbage fans said that the cabbage did not overwhelm. I can't say that I had a "green fluff" as described. Maybe my cabbage was not shredded enough. I also thought it seemed a little runny but I am comparing it to mashed potatoes and don't really know what the consistency should be. Either way, I would make it again for an Irish meal.
