Colcannon Potatoes
These traditional Colcannon potatoes are dreamy. Fried cabbage and onion and rich mashed potatoes is a true recipe for yummy!~ Traditional Colcannon potatoes are very lightly seasoned with salt and pepper. They serve Colcannon on Halloween night, they would hide a ring inside the potatoes, whoever found it was to be married next. It's another great dish for St. Patrick's Day. With the luck of the Irish they say!~

Colcannon is so loved, that it has inspired a traditional Irish song by its own name or by the name, “The Skillet Pot,” and has been recorded by many artists.
Lyrics:
“Did you ever eat Colcannon, made from lovely pickled cream?
With the greens and scallions mingled like a picture in a dream.
Did you ever make a hole on top to hold the melting flake
Of the creamy, flavored butter that your mother used to make?”
The chorus:
“Yes you did, so you did, so did he and so did I. And the more I think about it sure the nearer I’m to cry.
Oh, wasn’t it the happy days when troubles we had not,
And our mothers made Colcannon in the little skillet pot.”
