Hey everyone! I'm excited to share my take on a classic Irish comfort food dish: Colcannon Potatoes! I first tried this dish during a trip to Ireland, and it quickly became a favorite in my kitchen. It's creamy, hearty, and bursting with flavor – perfect for cozy nights or as a side dish for any meal!

Ingredients:
- 2 pounds potatoes (such as russet or Yukon gold), peeled and diced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 leek, thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)
- 4 cups shredded cabbage or kale
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
- Boil the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leek and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded cabbage or kale and cook until wilted, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the boiled potatoes back to the pot, along with the milk or cream.
- Mash everything together until smooth and creamy, adding more milk or cream as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in some chopped fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve the Colcannon hot, garnished with additional butter or parsley if you like.
