Fabulous Colcannon (Mashed Potatoes and Cabbage)

Fabulous Colcannon (Mashed Potatoes and Cabbage)
  • 3 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 head cabbage, sliced into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup water
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fully cooked ham, cut into bite-size pieces


  1. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, set heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Stir milk, mayonnaise, and butter into potatoes. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
  3. Cook and stir bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until fat is rendered, 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Stir onion, garlic, and cayenne pepper into bacon and drippings and cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir cabbage and water into onion mixture until cabbage is wilted, about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
  6. Fold cabbage mixture into mashed potatoes.
  7. Cook and stir ham pieces in the same skillet used for cabbage mixture until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
  8. Stir cooked ham into mashed potato and cabbage mixture until combined.
