Colcannon (Mashed Potatoes with Kale)
This authentic Irish dish teams up creamy mashed potatoes with vibrant and healthy kale for an unbeatable side dish!
Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
- Potato masher
Ingredients
- 3 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 5 Tbsp butter, divided, plus more for serving if desired
- 8 cups chopped kale, about 1 large bunch (remove the tough stems first)
- 1 cup half-and-half or buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp salt, or, to taste
- 4 tsp horseradish sauce
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the chopped potatoes, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are very tender. (The tip of a sharp knife should slide in easily.)
- Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
- In the same pot, melt 2 Tbsp of butter, and sautee the chopped kale over low-medium heat for 5-10 minutes until soft.
- Take off the heat, add the potatoes back to the pot along with the rest of the butter, half-and-half, salt, and horseradish sauce. Mash together with a potato masher until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Adjust seasonings to taste, and serve with more butter if desired.
