Traditional Irish Colcannon





Serves 10 | 
Delicious, hearty and perfect for St. Patrick's Day.
Ingredients:
| 3 russet potatoes, peeled and chunked | 
| 3 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chunked | 
| 1/2 cup heavy cream | 
| 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, more for serving | 
| 1 yellow onion, chopped | 
| 1/2 head cabbage, chopped | 
| 6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped | 
| Kosher salt, to taste | 
| Ground black pepper, to taste | 
Directions:
- Place russet and Yukon Gold potatoes in a large saucepan and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and drain water.
 - Pour heavy cream over the potatoes and add 4 tablespoons butter. Place a lid on the saucepan and let the butter melt. Set aside.
 - Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 8 minutes, stirring often until tender. Then add the cabbage to the skillet for an additional 8 minutes, stirring frequently until tender and lightly browned on the edges.
 - Mash the potatoes until soft and not clumpy. Stir the cabbage mixture and half of the chopped bacon into the mashed potatoes. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper.
 - Spoon and even amount of colcannon into serving bowls. Place a pat of butter in the center of each serving of colcannon and top with the remaining bacon. Enjoy!
