Colcannon TRADITIONAL IRISH dish
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лют 2024
- Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish made from mashed potatoes mixed with kale or cabbage and often enhanced with green onions (scallions), milk, butter, salt, and pepper. This hearty and comforting dish is deeply rooted in Irish culture and cuisine, offering a simple yet flavourful blend of ingredients. It's particularly associated with Halloween in Ireland but is enjoyed all year round, serving as a versatile side dish that pairs well with various meats, especially ham or bacon.
The preparation of Colcannon is straightforward. Potatoes are boiled until tender, then mashed smoothly with butter and warm milk to create a creamy texture. Cooked cabbage or kale is folded with finely chopped green onions for a mild, oniony bite. The result is a rich buttery dish with a comforting, homely feel, showcasing the humble potato and cabbage in a delicious and nutritious way.
Colcannon can also carry cultural significance, particularly during Halloween in Ireland, where it was traditional to hide small tokens or coins inside the dish for Halloween festivities, predicting fortune or luck for the person who found them.
For those interested in trying Colcannon, it's an accessible dish that can be easily adapted to personal taste preferences, such as using different types of cabbage or adding extra ingredients like garlic or cheese for added flavor. Its simplicity, combined with the rich flavours and textures, makes Colcannon a beloved classic in Irish cuisine.
The name "colcannon" is derived from the Gaelic word "cál ceannann," which means "white-headed cabbage." It is a traditional Irish dish made primarily from mashed potatoes, cabbage, or kale mixed with butter, milk, and sometimes onions, leeks, or scallions. Colcannon is mainly associated with Ireland and has a long Irish cuisine history, often served at Halloween but enjoyed year-round. The dish combines the staple potato with other readily available vegetables in Ireland, creating a hearty and comforting meal.

Oh Rik, it looks amazing. Much superior to the way I made mine the other day. I didn't put spring onions in mine. I will now. I'm so glad that I found you on UA-cam and Subscribed to your channel. It doesn't matter which nationality you are, your recipes suit everyone who like to eat 😉

If you omit the cabbage, just adding spring onions, you have champ, which is my favourite! 🇮🇪
BUTTER with potatoes, cabbage and onions -- love it!
Agreed! Best, Rik
Butter makes almost anything taste better!
What do you mean "almost "?@laureldreinking
@laureldreinking I grew up with my mom who put salt or butter or both on almost everything. I miss butter... It's a rare treat for me but I might make an exception for this dish.
Man, NEVER forget the butter. It pretty much goes well with everything.@@notme2day
Any left over put it in the fridge and fry it the next morning after your sausage and bacon for a delicious bubble and squeak. Yummy.
I agree! Best, Rik
Omg my nan always used to do this every Saturday morning
Good memories. Best, Rik@@DG-yk1wj
I was just thinking what a great fried patty that would make
What in the world is bubble and squeak?
Definitely do NOT skip the step of sautéing the cabbage!!!! It’s magical!!!! Even my daughter that doesn’t eat anything loves this!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Nicely salted and peppered caramelized cabbage is the best.
I grew up during the horrible time the schools decided to teach that butter was terrible for you so I always would skimp on it in dishes I'd make. And I was always wondering why my food never tasted as hearty as my parents or grandparents. Then suddenly I started putting in a goodly amount of butter into my meals and wouldn't you know it, it tastes just like how I remember homemade food should taste. Love this video and I'm excited to make some myself.
Its just amazing how we have all been influenced over the years. Good job we all have choices. Thank you. Best, Rik
Butter is the secret of life!
Right?!?! Also using "real" ingredients got rid of some gastro issues for me.
Thank you. Best, Rik@@kthearcher3357
Butter has been the enemy for so long! Now we know it is so good for you and its margarine the bad one 😂
Oh Rik ! All the Polish people will love you for the dish 🥰 Potatoes and cabbage " Our national food "😋
Thank you. Love to Poland. Best, Rik
and Ukraine 🇺🇦 people the same 😅
My step fathers family is Hungarian. When they came to visit us in the states they made the best dishes, rich in flavor without meat. That was right up my alley being vegan. Wish my dad was still, around today, would love to have those recipes... I still dream about them.

I get my love of it from my maternal grandfather 💪. This is a regular dish in my house, and my Mexican husband loves it, too. He puts cheese on top. I put bacon in mine. 🤭

I'm Hispanic, and I've turned on a lot of my other Hispanic friends to this dish and they love it. So this recipe is not just for the Irish. It can be for anyone.
Yes indeed! Just like your Spanish Tortilla. we all eat it. Best, Rik
We don’t mind sharing. I love Spanish food .

Colcannons a wonderful dish.
The food needs to remain in the ethnic enclave and never be shared 😂😂😂
Butter, butter, butter, butter, and some more butter, gotta love it!
Thank you 😋 Best, Rik
And of course Ireland has the BEST butter!🧈
don't forget the dash of potatoes at the end.....
Thank you. Best, Rik@@joedoe6444
I wanted to try this recipe but I only have three pounds of butter left in my fridge. It’ll have to wait! Just kidding! I will most certainly try it. It’s the kind of simple dish that cannot be bad. Happy St. Patrick everyone! March 17th, 2024
Thank you. Best, Rik
U can also Bake it slowly & it's excellent!
Me too! I apparently wanted to ensure I wasn't going to run out!
Now I have to put it to good use. Darn it😂
As an American with Irish roots (5th generation) Dad mentioned growing up on this, but called it boil cabbage and mash, with mince. The mince was just butcher scraps that were leftover at the end of the day, fried or boiled, then the cabbage was cooked in that water, then the taters as well, saving all that flavor. If Dad caught a fish, perfect for lent, it was served as well. I still cook frugally like my parents grew up on after WW2 and still love it.
Thank you 😋 Best, Rik
LOL 5th generation! My maternal great grandparents were from Ireland but I don't consider myself Irish! I am English. Americans like their "pick what you like" style of ancestry and ignore what you don't like.

@@theskinthiefs6301That was a humorous post , not shitty .

You'll laugh, but even I here in Bavaria know this dish and have cooked it several times. As far as I know, it's a classic "All Saints' Day meal". I use savoy cabbage instead of cabbage. The original is prepared from "sea cabbage" according to my documents. Thank you very much for showing and warm greetings from Bavaria.👍👍
Sea cabbage does have alkaloids so you shouldn’t eat it raw also in Britain, there are restrictions on harvest of sea cabbage so only take as much as you need👍👍🇬🇧🏴🇨🇮🏴
No laughing, dishes transcend all borders, taken by travelers and adapted. That's why the world of cooking appeals to me. Not the tosh we all did standing in the kitchen's turning the same rubbish out day in and day out. Recipes even though similar with different ingredients. Much love to Bavaria. Best, Rik
Wo haben sie Sea Cabbage in Bayern bekommen ich habe Jahre lang in Bayern gelebt und noch nie davon gehört, aber ich kann mir vorstellen das das in Bayern gut ankommt Champ auch das habe ich für freunde gemacht mit Bratwurst 👍😍
@@hablin1 Ich habe den Sea cabbage nicht bekommen und daher durch Wirsing ersetzt. Aber das Original ist laut Rezept dieser Meerkohl.
@@hansdampf4055 ach so ich habe mich gewundert 👍😍
The last time I had this was the spring of 1965. I was five years old and never knew what it was called. My grandmother made it for her Dad every time we went to visit. He was born in Westmeath and came to Boston in 1903. My grandmother didn't actually like this for some reason but she made it for him and he shared it with me and I loved it. Thank you so much for posting this video. Now I know how to make it for myself after all these years.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Nice story she probably ate too m6ch as a child and didn't care fir it anymore
She might not have liked it too much because she probably was so sick of eating cabbage/kale and potatoes every day, she never wanted it again. But to dad, it was a completely different thing. Home and hearth, you know? Full tummies with warm food. Mum.
That’s a wonderful story
Lovely memory!
The onion heated in the milk is genius! I'm going to try it!❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
If you follow the recipe but leave out the cabbage, then you've made another Irish potato dish called champ. Many here in Ireland especially in the north say an idiot is as thick as champ.
Love Champ! Did you see this one ua-cam.com/video/n6XtpbbW41M/v-deo.html Best, Rik@@lambhdeargh
I love colcannon. Any kind of potatoes, any kind of greens, any kind of onions. The worst colcannon is delicious and the best is sublime. I’m making this version for dinner tomorrow night. Can’t wait!
Sounds great! I agree! No hangs ups like all the purists, most of them don't cook they just criticize. Good on ya, hope you enjoy. Best, Rik
Certainly not any kind of potatoes 🥔 😊
Up to you if you are fussy, I'm not. The most of the world cannot get the potatoes you have - so any potatoes will do. Thank you. @@patriciaoreilly8907

My mouth is watering.😅
I grew up in a large Irish family. This is the way my parents always made it. Not with kale. They grow kale but I think it's much better with cabbage. Thank you for bringing me back to my childhood
Thank you. Best, Rik
I remember making a version of this as a kid, my mother was sick and my siblings were hungry. Plenty of potatoes a cabbage only white onions though, lots of butter sautéed the onions in the butter. I made way too much, the next day I made the remaining mixture up into little cakes and fried them up in the heavy cast iron skillet, like bubble and squeak, not bad for an Eight year old. This has taken me back to 1968.
Thank you. Best, Rik
This is a family staple in our house. I have substituted chopped Brussels sprouts instead of cabbage as well as kale. This dish has converted many non-cabbagers to cabbage lovers.
Thank you. Best, Rik
love the idea of Brussel sprouts instead of cabbage! Thank you for such a great idea!!
In the Netherlands we call it 'Stamppot' (mash pot) and have literally tens of variations, although most are with cabbage of all varieties. We usually eat it with a smoked sausage. There is one with onion and carrot, called Hutspot. We eat that with a meat stew (Hachée). It's more or less our national dish.
Thank you very much for sharing. I love learning. Would like to eat that national dish. Best, Rik
Yes, and we usually cook it all in one pot. Lekker! 😋
À great stamppot is ‘stamppot rauwe andijvie’. Mashed potatoes with tiny sliced raw endive. Gives a beautiful crunch and a fresh flavor to the potatoes.
@@mw5356definitely with bacon!
@@jamesjasonallen4168 Spekjes
In Czech cooking, this is known as Halushki. My grandmother would make a batch of this for holidays. The cabbage gets fried up, mixed with riced potatoes, and served with mustard. Yum! So glad I found your site. I never learned how to make it so now I know.
Your mums recipe sounds amazing - love the idea! Thank you. Best, Rik
😮now, Mustard oo wow yummmmm.my brain asks...horseradish..???
Anything yoiu like to eat, no worries. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@alysononoahu8702
My Bohemian/Moravian lines don't have this exactly...but we always served homemade Kraut browned in bacon fat (even better duck fat when available) with mashed potatoes on the side. Nice knowing this also has a Bavarian and Irish background, as do I!
Thank you 😋 Best, Rik@@Wguy56
A man after my heart with all that butter. Butter makes everything better.
Thank you. Best, Rik
"A bog standard" 😄 I just dared my husband to casually work that phrase into a conversation at the next family gathering. Love it!
Ha ha ha, I hope he takes the challenge - look forward to hearing the result. Thank you. Best, Rik
That's what i love: a cooking show where the pans the host grabs look like pans that have been around and landed in my kitchen!! Now i know you are cooking for real.

@@BackyardChef 🤗🤗💚☘️🇨🇦
One of the first things I noticed, and loved!
My Papa bought a good pot set around '76-'77. My mum used them after he died and now I have them and still use them every day. Good pots.
I was thinking that, too.
I haven't had Colcannon potatoes in over two decades. I remember they were delicious! With Corn beef, heaven!
Oh yes! Best, Rik
that's corn beef hash😊
@@BackyardChefChef, please tell me what brand and the name of the knife you used to chop the cabbage. Thanks!!
@@RubyTwilite available at any Thai Market...
😜
Mum always used to serve corn beef with cabbage and potatoes. She never made colcannon though. I'm definitely trying this!
Nothing like some good old comfort food, just watching this made me hungry LOL
Thank you. Best, Rik
I'm second Gen Irish & my Grandma & Mom made this dish, so I grew up eating Colcannon. My Grandma made it with what she called "boiled bacon". My Mom says it's equivalent to American boiled ham, which I cube & add to my Colcannon. Rik, your recipe is spot on & DEE-LISH! My Husband really loves it! Thank you for posting from an Irish girl in Oregon!🍀❤
Thank you. Love to the Irish girl in Oregon. Best, Rik
Mmmmm. Cabbage, potatoes, green onions, and butter...what's not to love. Also, looks lie a great boiled pierogie filling. St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, can't wait for a recipe for that.
So good! Best, Rik
Yes! That would be a good pierogi filling.
A touch of heavy cream at the end along with a few cloves of garlic in with the cabbage fry really perks it up!
I made this on Sunday and it was fantastic! Simmering the green onion in the milk really does carry the flavor throughout. Best colcannon I've had.
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
Celtic Viking Germanic dish right there. That is a three culture love fest right there.
I'd add, a bit of dill and mustard seed.
Heaven
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik

I’m watching this and it’s mouth watering. Feb26, 2024. I gave up potatoes for Lent. I love potatoes any way I can get them. I watched you make potatoes yesterday too, with sweet potato and turnip, and onions. Well that ok, cause Easter Sunday either one of those potato dishes will go great with ham, or lamb. Thanks, and blessings.♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sounds great! Hope you enjoy. Best, Rik
As an Irish woman I audibly gasped at the idea of giving up potatoes for lent. 😂what?
Aussie here! My mother made something like this - she called it ‘bubble & squeak’. Absolutely delicious. Thanks for the inspiration chef 😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
I’m Canadian and my English mother made bubble and squeak too, usually made with Brussel sprouts
My friend from the UK called this bubble and squeak. My family did not want their cabbage and potatoes mixed so I put my serving of each in a bowl and mixed my own. Delicious!!
@@donnahorsley433 Thank you. Best, Rik
Bubble and squeak usually includes meat and is fried. Colcannon has no meat and is a rather creamy dish. Here in Ireland, my mother used to add a six pence and a piece of cloth, each wrapped in greaseproof paper. Whoever got the six pence in their helping would be rich for a year; whoever got the ‘rag’ in theirs would be poor for the year.
I have Irish ancestry and I love learning these recipes! And I love e how you don't skimp on the butter!
Thank you. Best, Rik
The butter + mash potatoes + butter + butter + potatoes + butter.... I gained half a stone just watching this video. Now I've got to pick up cabbage at the grocers!

Thanks, Adrian. Nowt hidden here, simple cooking. Best, Rik
You had me at cabbage, 😋❣️
My job as a kid was to put the carrots, cabbage and potatoes in with the roast at 5 PM and my mother always put a full head of cabbage, because if she didn’t, I would eat all the cabbage and there wouldn’t be any with the roast, lol.
I grew up on a farm where we grew potatoes and sold them so I came home from school, picked potatoes, graded potatoes, bagged potatoes, and then went and made them for dinner❣️I’m definitely making this! 😉😋😍
Thank you. Best. Rik
Here in the Virginia mountains we even have a dancing song, " Boil That Cabbage Down,Make them Hoecakes Brown" So ingrained in our ancestors songs that celebrate a good cabbage meal, potatoes and hoecake-thin fried crisp corn meal cakes ( like pancakes) Spring onions,ham or bacon and Lots of butter too would be in this type of hearty meal. Yummy Goodness! Can't wait to make this your way. Thank you.
Love your tips on milk butter cabbage, onions sautes.
I love that song! What a way to cook. Thank you. Best, Rik
This reminds me of my childhood. Delicious. You just HAVE to make a crater in the top and melt a big knob of Kerrygold butter in it. Nothing like it!!
Colcannon - one of my favs when the garden produce finally gets ready. Nothing better than home organic cabbage, taters and green onions. If you haven't made and eaten this it's delicious.
ps: Love your extra steps. I will be changing my recipe to match yours. Cheers
I agree! Thank you. Best, Rik
We had a version of this at least once a month when I was growing up. Smoked picnic, a type ham butt, cabbage and potatoes. All boiled up together. We put our own butter on. Sheet cake for dessert. There were seven of us kids plus parents. To this day fifty years later, I would rather have this for dinner than corned beef and cabbage. Lovely flavor. My dad being of Czech extraction decorated his with caraway seed. Love your recipes, Rik.👍
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yum! Potatoes, cabbage, green onions, butter. Wonderful! All my favorite ingredients!
Yes, Lovely. Best, Rik
There’s a soft spot in my heart for colcannon. It convinced my young daughter that kale is edible 😂.
Yes great idea. Your Kale way is very good indeed. Best, Rik
My grandmother (County Longford) made this regularly. Gotta' use russets but we don't peel 'em. Just scrub and boil whole. Also: we use light cream. That's the first thing to do: heat the cream on a very low heat with the scallions so that the cream picks up the scallion flavor. Add butter and set aside. Cut cabbage and boil but not too limp. Drain, set aside. When the russets are done, put 'em back in the dry pot with a low flame and let 'em dry out for a few minutes. Then take the masher and give the spuds a few whacks to break 'em up into pieces; do not mash. Assemble all in a casserole and serve. NB: piled as in the video with the butter added to the top is suggestive of another dish called "champ". Enjoy!
Thank you. Best, Rik
The things you "normally don't do" are the things that make the boring..spectacular!! I LOVE your love of butter!

Thank you for including the recipe in the bottom section. In my opinion, the chef who is only interested in making money with the videos is cheating the viewer who wishes to learn how to make the food according to the original methods. And it keeps the chef honest when he copies the amounts and ingredients from his recipe file, that he cherishes so much as to keep an accurate record of the way he learned to love it, and to teach it to others to love as much.

Its masthead potatoes, cabbage and onions, butter, milk= heaven.
Agreed! Best, Rik
Love this dish, grew up on it as my ‘Da’ was Irish. Oh and don’t miss the step of frying off the cabbage with butter and pepper, it’s what takes the dish to another level. We also had boiled potatoes with butter and porridge oats sprinkled in it, delicious. My mother called them Irish potatoes but I never got that, considering the oats but I could have ate them every day.
Thank you. Best, Rik
It has to be kale in our home . My mother made it when I was a child . She used kale , potatoes , onions and kerry gold butter . Perfect

My heritage is half Irish and half Ukrainian so im naturally drawn to any dish with potato and cabbage. I'll definitely add the onion the next time I make it.

I read about this dish in various books. I am from Southern Africa with Portuguese heritage. I love cabbage. Now this way to cook it is PHENOMENAL ! I live now in the USA Midwest where the cooking is good solid farm non nonsense cooking. As a child I travelled extensively in Asia with my granny who had a spice emporium so my food is very different from the average family fare. This is something I am going to try tomorrow. It seems sooo tasty… I am sure I will make my sons eat such a tasty thing. Thanks immensely. And GOD bless the work of your hands.

That looks sooo delicious! I love cabbage mixed with mashed potatoes. Thanks for sharing. Karen from Ohio.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Thanks! I love to make culturally diverse and simple dishes for my family!
❤️
You are so welcome! Thank you. Best, Rik
I made this last night, and OMG this was phenomenal!!!! I did your extra step on the cabbage and I LOVED THIS DISH. My husband admitted after dinner he wasn't so sure about the combination, but he went back for seconds and said he would like to have that dish again.
Fantastic! Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef I have to add I took leftovers to both Moms and they loved it. Thank you for the recipes I can add to our regular rotation!
My grandmother was incredibly cheeky and quick witted, and always called this dish "colon cannon"😂
And she was CORRECT.😅
Thank you. Best, Rik
Lovely stuff. Greetings from Poland where we love our mash, cabbage and onion.
Thanks for watching! Love to Poland. Best, Rik
We often had Colcannon growing up but we always used turnup with the spuds ,cabbage and onions.
Lovely. Best, Rik
There's nothing like a good demonstration. Thank you.
Thank you. Best, Rik
HA!… they say one is never too old to learn something new (I’m 80!) - - that nifty way to mellow out the onions in the milk & butter is definitely something I will do. And, with St.Paddy’s Day on the horizon, I will soon be trying Colcannon your way. Even despite my age & being widowed, with children who live all,over the USA, I still do a whole meal…Colcannon a must, with a wonderful Irish ☘️ Soda Bread recipe (from a dear friend years ago), & a small corned beef cooked with carrots, onions & more cabbage. The only thing missing is a Guinness. It’s funny…I know so many old folks who say their appetites are dwindled 😮- - I kinda wish it would happen to me😅. Finding your channel last week with the turnips & potatoes & green onions was a stoke of good Irish luck 🍀 me thinks! (And took me right down Memory Lane).
Wow! I loved reading this. It's a stroke of luck to have you here. Hope the appetite stays, definitely will keep you strong. I could do a Guinness. Keep watching I have changed up this recipe for St Patrick's day will be posted a couple of days before. Lots of love and take care. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChefOh… gosh…thank you so much for the comment back…🍀💝
You are very welcome. Best, Rik@@suemcknight9051
Much Love from Phoenix Arizona. I made this tonight with a side of corn muffins. I will definitely be making this again. Thank you Peace and Blessings 🌸
Thank you. Love to Phoenix. Best, Rik
Dear Mr. Rik, I MADE IT!! It's so delicious. Thanks to you for your recipe. 😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
"Don't be shy of the butter." LOL Sounds like the older Irish women, who used to say, "Don't be afraid of the butter."
When it was a bit drizzly outside, they'd say, "Get out there. You aren't made of butter, you won't melt!"
That is how I learned the wonders of butter.
Thank you 😋 Best, Rik
I'm Irish/Cherokee and had never heard of this dish. I will now incorporate it into my life. Enjoy the like and sub because I am enjoying your fine cookin'!
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh goodness. I remember my mom making something similar; and that all of us kids were given the raw, sliced out core to eat while awaiting the dinner. 😁✌️❤️
Thank you. Best, Rik
I have actually always wanted to make colcannon . . .
Your video made me feel like I was standing in your kitchen with you. I could smell it!
I love cabbage. And onions. And potatoes. And butter. I can eat butter with a spoon.
I never saw your channel, looks like I have some catching up 😃
Wonderful! Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh yes. I’m
Making this soon. I have a 10 pound bag of potatoes I need to use. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you 😋 Best, Rik
On a visit to Dublin 5 years ago i asked for colcannon in a number of restaurants and no one knew what i was talking about 😊 my American lady friend thought i was winding her up, I thought the staff were winding ME up. I couldn't believe I couldn't get colcannon in Ireland. Spoilt the holiday for me and I still haven't got over it.😂
Oh wow! Thank you. Best, Rik
Hard to believe. Maybe they evolved another name for it? It would be a staple there. Someone else commented that they know it as Champ.
Someone get this man a beer!
He put in a job well done!
Wow! Thank you. Best, Rik
I am absolutely going to do the extra step you don't expect us to do. This looks like the best colcannon ever.
Thank you. Best, Rik
