Colcannon

Directions

1. Peel, and wash your potatoes and cut into quarters. Place in a large pan and cover with water, and boil. Cook until fork tender and drain. Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, shred the cabbage. Place into a medium sized pot, cover with water and boil til darkened and tender. Turn off the burner and add the 1 Tablespoon of butter and let it sit with the lid on for 2 minutes, drain and set aside. Once the potatoes are done, drain and place back into the pot. Add in the stick of butter and milk, and using a hand masher, mash the potatoes just like normal. Add in the pepper and stir. (Taste to see if you need more milk, butter or pepper) Cut the ham into small cubes, and chop the onion. Add the ham, onion and cabbage to the potatoes and mix. Serve warm with a dab of butter in the middle, and some green onions on top. Tip: You can make this ahead of time and place in a well greased crock pot on warm until ready to serve. Especially nice if you're serving this at a party for St. Patty's Day
