Diane's Colcannon Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: St. Patrick's Day Recipes. (Diane's Colcannon Recipe). While colcannon seems to be associated with St. Patrick's Day, I love the combination of potatoes, cabbage, onion, and bacon all through the cooler months of fall and winter! I attend an annual St. Paddy's Day party and this is the dish I'm always asked to bring...and I'm happy to say that the bowl comes home empty every time!

Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.

Step 2

Place bacon in a large deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain reserving drippings crumble and set aside. In the reserved drippings saute the cabbage and onion until soft and translucent. Putting a lid on the pan helps the vegetables cook faster.
