Colcannon

Yesterday was St Patrick's Day and I made colcannon for the first time. Curious about the name, I looked it up and discovered that it means "white-headed" cabbage. Traditionally it is made with either cabbage or kale.
Oh, and I won't be waiting until next St Patrick's Day to make it again.

4 cups 1-inch cubed potatoes
1  1/2 cups chopped cabbage
salt and pepper
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsps butter/marg
5 green onions, sliced

Cook the cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water, drain.
Mash them with the milk and marg and add more salt and pepper to taste.

In a small saucepan bring salted water to a boil and add the cabbage and the white part of the sliced green onions. You don't have to boil the onion, but I prefer the milder taste to raw. Reduce heat and simmer 4-5 minutes. Drain.

Add to the mashed potatoes along with the rest of the green onions and serve.

Makes enough for 4 servings.
