Ingredients
- 2½ lb. unpeeled round red potatoes, quartered
- 3 cups stemmed and thinly sliced kale
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ to ¾ cup unflavored, unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven combine potatoes and enough water to cover. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- When potatoes are nearly done, in a large skillet cook kale and garlic over medium 2 to 3 minutes or until kale is wilted, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking.
- Drain and mash potatoes. Gradually stir or beat in enough of the milk to make potatoes light and fluffy. Stir in dill; fold in kale mixture. Season with salt and pepper. If desired, top with additional dill.

Excellent product for each and every day Aye Perfecto
What you have here is a vegan colcannon (Gaelic: cal ceannann) to be enjoyed as is, or swap out the kale for the traditional boiled & mashed cabbage.
Much more truly Irish than a New England Boiled Dinner (aka corned beef).
