  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 Irish sausages
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1/2 head of cabbage, shredded
  • 4 scallions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the Irish sausages over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. Boil the quartered potatoes in a large pot until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Add the shredded cabbage for the last 5 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and cabbage, return to the pot, and mash with milk, butter, and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Serve the hot Irish sausages alongside a generous helping of creamy colcannon mash.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for extra creaminess.
  • Don’t overcook the cabbage; it should retain some texture.
  • For richer flavor, add a knob of butter on top of the colcannon before serving.
  • Experiment with adding other vegetables like leeks or kale.
