Colcannon

This Colcannon is really easy to make with simple ingredients. It is the ultimate comfort food for the whole family. A 30 minute meal that even pickiest kids will go after. Once you’ve tried it, you can be sure it doesn’t taste vegan, so you will be really surprised how much it tastes like the real deal, if not better.

One of the ingredients that always come to my mind whenever I have a craving, is potatoes.

Simply because they are always available, budget friendly, filling, versatile. Just something that I can eat almost every day in all variations like this Twice Baked Potato Casserole, the Malai Kofta, my Potato Cakes, or even the Dauphinoise potatoes.

How to make Colcannon

Set a large pot or casserole filled with salted water. Add potatoes and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and let them cook for around 15 minutes until they are tender and ready to mash. Drain the potatoes.

In the meantime, heat a skillet with half of the vegan butter (1/4 cup) , add cabbage and vegan bacon shreds. Fry all for around 8 minutes until done, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper, then add kale and cook for 2 minutes longer. 

Give the drained potatoes to a large bowl with remaining vegan butter, oat milk, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mash with a potato masher, hand blender or food processor until you have creamy texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Now finally mix in the cabbage from the skillet, add scallions. You can garnish with chives

It makes such an amazing idea for dinner, lunch meal prep and of course any holiday will be better.
