Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 2: While the potatoes are cooking, finely shred the cabbage or kale. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the cabbage or kale. Sauté until it is wilted and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed cabbage or kale, butter, and milk. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 4: Serve the colcannon hot as a side dish with bacon or ham, if desired.
