This recipe for colcannon is thought to have come to the New World in the 1800s, carried by the great waves of Irish immigration.

Ingredients
1 1/4 pounds (about 2 large) russet (baking) potatoes
3 cups thinly sliced cabbage
1/2 cup milk, scalded
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits and softened

Method
  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a saucepan cover the potatoes with salted water and simmer them, covered, for 15 minutes, or until they are tender.
  3. While the potatoes are simmering, in a steamer set over boiling water steam the cabbage for 5 minutes, or until it is tender.
  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander, force them through a ricer or the medium disk of a food mill into a bowl, and stir in the milk, the butter, the cabbage, and salt and pepper to taste.
