Colcannon Recipe

In a medium pot of boiling water, cook the potatoes for 25 minutes or until tender. When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and transfer to a medium bowl. With a potato masher or electric mixer, beat in the milk and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt; set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon in water over moderate heat for 7 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and had rendered its fat. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate. Add the onions and garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes or until the onion is golden brown and very tender. Add the cabbage, pepper, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the bacon, and cook, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes or until the cabbage is tender but not mushy. Stir in the mashed potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until the potatoes are piping hot.
