Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs yukon or russet potatoes, peeled, quartered, (4 medium potatoes or 900g)
  • 2 leeks, *halved, thin sliced
  • 1/4 of a head green cabbage, shredded, (2 cups or 140g)
  • 1 cup kale, chopped, (20g)
  • 1 cup plant milk, (237)
  • 6 tbsp vegan butter, salted, divided
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • garnish with vegan butter slices and scallions

Instructions

  • Add the potatoes to a large pot. Fill it with water and a pinch of salt. Bring this to a boil, then let them cook for 15 minutes or until they are fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and cabbage to it. Sauté them until they've softened and the smaller pieces start to caramelize.
  • Add the kale and stir as it cooks for a few minutes. Turn the heat off as soon as the kale wilts.
  • Drain and mash the potatoes. Add the salt, pepper, and sautéed vegetables to the potatoes.
  • Warm up the remaining butter and plant milk in the pan that was used for the vegetables over low heat.
  • Pour it over the potatoes and combine everything. Serve the colcannon with pats of butter and scallions on top.

Notes

For the leeks: Slice the very bottom and dark green top leaves off. Cut the remaining cylinder in half. Wash these two cylinder halves by swishing them around in a bowl of fresh water. Pat them dry and slice when ready.
Try not to over cook or over mash the potatoes to keep them from getting a gummy texture.
Warm the milk and vegan butter before adding them to the mashed potatoes to help them glide through and prevent over-stirring.
