For centuries, this traditional southern Irish potato dish has remained popular. Studded with Chopped cabbage and onion, its absolutely irresistible. Serve the leftovers as potato pancakes the next day. Have not made this yet.

This sounds worth a try..I know I should eat more cabbage because it's good for you but I never know what to do with it other than corn beef and cabbage.


My grandmother use to make this...;)Thank you for the recipe.


I love cabbage and potatoes.. But like Peetabear usually the only time I cook with them together is when I'm making corned beef brisket stew which by the way I love.


Oma... we grew up on this dish!!! Thank you for submitting it!


Oh wow does this ever sound good, I've got to make this one soon. I'm certainly going to have a very different grocery list this go around with all the new recipes I want to try. Thanks for sharing this one. Love Cabbage and Potatoes, this has to be a winner.


Love Potaotes and cabbage so this sounds like a hit. Thanks for sharing.


Hope you enjoy this! yummmmm


Gotta try this on my Irish/German husband - I'm sure it will be a hit. Thanks Shirley!


Just what I was looking for and just in time for St. Patrick's day. I love it!


I love mashed potatoes and usually make them every few weeks. Colcannon has always been a favorite. The only thing I do differently is the pepper. I use white pepper.


Whoops, accidentally hit submit twice, sorry!


Buying a cabbage as soon as the shops open, hmmmmm
