Instructions

How to make this Vegetarian version of Irish Colcannon Recipe

First, in a large pot of water cook the potatoes for about 15 to 20 minutes or until they are soft. While the potatoes are cooking on the stove, proceed to prepare the rest of the vegetables.
While the potatoes are boiling, shred the cabbage, and dice the leek. I like to wash all vegetables before cutting.
By now the potatoes are cooked. Its time to drain and let them cool before peeling them. Set aside.
In a separate pot place it over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Next, add garlic and leeks and stir. Let it cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then, add cabbage and season with salt and pepper to taste. I used two or three pinches of each. Stir frequently and cook until vegetables have your desired tenderness. I like mine a little crunchy so about 5 minutes was enough for me.
Add potatoes, cream and the rest of butter.
