This Irish Potato Cabbage Mash is a vegan, and healthier, take on a traditional Irish dish called Colcannon. It’s as simple as mashed potatoes mixed with chopped, cooked cabbage or kale. You can make it from leftover mashed potatoes, and stir in cooked cabbage, or start from scratch as in the recipe below. We like to serve this in winter, when the garden kale has been sweetened by frost, and is ready to enjoy. The version pictured here is made with green cabbage, but you can add a few leaves of kale to the pot for added color, texture, and nutrition. Or go crazy and replace all the cabbage with kale. That would never work in the Graettinger household since some members of that family don’t like kale (we won’t mention any names but it starts with “T” and ends with “im”.)
