Colcannon

I think this is an Irish dish that is basically mashed potatoes and cabbage mixed together. Except it also has bacon.

3 lb. potato 2 stick butter 1.25 C milk (hot) 1 head cabbage 1 lb. bacon (cooked) 4 scallions (finely chopped) 1 pinch black pepper 1 pinch salt 1 pinch parsley, fresh (chopped)

Instructions

Make mashed potatoes by boiling potatoes, mashing, adding 1 stick butter, milk, salt, and pepper, and mashing some more Boil cabbage for several minutes (until it turns darker green), turn off, add 2Tbsp butter and cover for 2 minutes (this tenderizes it), drain, and chop well Bring bacon to a boil in a pot of water, simmer until tender, drain, and chop well. Mix everything together. Serve with a dollop of butter in the middle.
