Irish Colcannon

Oh just get ready for this.

Colcannon in D? Colcannonball? Colcannonading? Colcannoneers? Dudes, I could go on and on.

By the way, I know it’s really Canon in D. Ahem.

Okay, so have you ever colcannoned? Oh dear. Oh dearohdearohdear. Let me just tell you about this.

A) Potatoes. No bigs. We all love ‘em.
B) Butter. And I mean a lot of butter. Creamy, melted, rub-it-on-your-face butter.
C) KALE. Ooooooooo, say what? I know. Kale. An entire bunch of the healthy stuff right smack dab in it.
D) Milk or cream. Well, I mean duh.
E) SCALLIONS. Do whaaaaaaat? I know. Scallions. And a lot of ‘em, right all up in it.
F) Your face smashed in it. The end.

Okay, grab some taters, some kale, butter, milk, and scallions!

Give the potatoes a rough dice. Like big chunks. Or medium. Or whatever. Your call. I’m going to stop talking. Oh wait I can’t. I have to tell you what to do with them. Boil and drain ‘em!

Now, melt all that glorious butter in the pot, and wilt your kale. And then add the scallion. Oh myohmyohmyohmy.

Then pour in the milk. Oh goshohgoshohgoshohgosh.

And then you add the potatoes and mash ‘em good! Oh mashohmashohmashohmash.

And then look. Here it is, in all its glory. With that fat I mean phat dab of butter right on top, for all the world to see.

I can’t even look this without completely losing my mind.
