Discover the secret to making the perfect Colcannon with Leek Butter – a delicious Irish mash that’s packed with flavor and ready in just 15 minutes!
Ingredients
– 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 cup milk
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 leeks, thinly sliced
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. – Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
2. – Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes with the milk and 2 tablespoons of the butter until smooth and creamy.
3. – In a skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. – Fold the leeks into the mashed potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
5. – Serve hot, garnished with additional butter, if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add grated cheddar cheese or chopped chives to the colcannon for extra flavor.
