How to make Irish Colcannon

1

Cook Potatoes.

Add potato chunks and 1 teaspoon of sea salt to a large pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer the potatoes until they’re tender. 

2

Wilt Kale.

Heat half of the butter in the pot over medium heat until it’s melted. Add the torn kale leaves and ¼ teaspoon of sea salt. Completely wilt the kale so it’ll stir into the potatoes easily. 

3

Mash Potatoes, Kale and Green Onions Together.

Add the green onions to the pot, stir to combine and cook for about a minute. Then add the potatoes back into the pot with half of the milk and the other half of the butter
