Begin by peeling and cutting 4 cups of starchy potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

While your potatoes are boiling, heat a medium skillet over medium heat and melt ½ cup of butter. Add 1 cup of chopped kale or cabbage along with ½ cup of sliced green onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the greens are tender and fragrant.

Once the potatoes are done, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot or a warm bowl. Begin mashing the potatoes while slowly incorporating ½ cup of butter and 1 cup of warmed milk or cream.

Gently fold the sautéed greens and green onions into the creamy mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Scoop your Irish Colcannon Mashed Potatoes into a serving dish. Top with a pat of melting butter and a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives or additional green onions. Serve immediately.
