St. Patrick's Colcannon

By: Auntie M

"This is an 'Irish' way to deal with the leftover corned beef after the American corned beef and cabbage feast. My husband considers this a wonderful part of the corned beef cycle. I use red potatoes with skins on, substitute ham for the corned beef, and leeks for the green onions, depends on what's in the fridge."

Original Recipe Yield 8 servings

Ingredients

3 pounds red potatoes, quartered
1 head cabbage, cored and shredded
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 green onions, sliced, white parts and tops separated
white pepper to taste
1 1/4 cups hot milk
1 pound leftover corned beef, cut into pieces and warmed

Directions

Place potatoes in a large saucepan and add water to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Stir in cabbage along with 2 tablespoons of butter; cover, and simmer until the cabbage has softened. Drain.
Melt 1/2-cup butter over medium heat. Stir in garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Cook until the garlic has softened and mellowed.
Drain the potatoes and mash with white pepper to taste. Fold in melted butter, milk, cabbage, and corned beef. Sprinkle with green onion tops to serve.
