Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 2: Meanwhile, chop the cabbage or kale into small pieces. In a separate pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cabbage or kale and cook until wilted and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the cooked cabbage or kale, butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until well combined and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 4: Serve the colcannon hot as a side dish with boiled ham or sausages. It can also be eaten on its own as a hearty and comforting meal.
