Colcannon

Ingredients

1kg potato, well scrubbed (cut any large ones in half)
100g butter
140g sliced back bacon, finely chopped
1 small Savoy cabbage, finely shredded
150ml double cream

Directions

STEP 1 Tip the potatoes into a large saucepan of water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15-20 mins, or until the flesh is tender when pierced.

STEP 2 Meanwhile, heat quarter of the butter in a saucepan, then fry the bacon and half the cabbage for 5 mins (see Kevin’s tip, below, for how to use remaining cabbage). Turn off the heat and set aside. Drain potatoes in a colander and peel while still hot.

STEP 3 Mash potato until smooth. Heat cream with remaining butter and, when almost boiling, beat into the potato. Add bacon and cabbage to potato and mix. Season if you want.

This is a great local scheme, consistently an interesting range of high quality veg delivered every week. It’s great to have the opportunity to support the hard work of folk doing a great job for us all
