Ingredients Needed
Before we start, let’s gather our ingredients. You won’t need a magic pot for this recipe, just some simple stuff from your kitchen!
- 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup chopped kale or cabbage
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or dairy-free butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: A splash of non-dairy milk for extra creaminess!
Instructions to Make Your Colcannon
Now that we have everything we need, it’s time to get our hands dirty… in a culinary way, of course!
- Start by boiling those peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Cook them until they’re tender when poked with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil (or dairy-free butter) in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and sauté until they’re translucent and a little golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the kale or cabbage to the skillet and cook until it’s wilted. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Your kitchen should start to smell pretty amazing at this point!
- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them up until they’re light and fluffy. If you want to add a splash of non-dairy milk, now’s the time! Who doesn’t love creamy potatoes?
- Stir in the sautéed onions and greens with the mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add a little vegetable broth if you want to loosen up the mixture.
- Serve warm and enjoy your tasty, traditional Irish Colcannon. You might want to make a double batch—this stuff goes fast!
So there you have it—a classic dish with a dairy-free twist that would make even the most discerning leprechaun do a little jig! Enjoy your St. Patrick’s Day celebration with this colcannon delight!
