Every Irish family has its own version or this classic dish. My recipe comes from my father's family in Ireland. It's part of my St. Pat's menu, along with lamb chops, carrots and soda bread. —Marilou Robinson, Portland, Oregon

I tried this recipe for St Patty's day and the whole family enjoyed it! I followed it to the letter but when I make it again, I would add more seasonings.

Great way to sneak cabbage into the diet - really tasty. I left out green onions (simply didn't have it on hand) and added some cream cheese - super tasty!

At first I was a bit hesitant, but gave it try and it was a great dish to accompany my corn beef. Thanks so much, the whole family enjoyed it.

This was SO good! We are going to add this to our favorite side dishes year round, not just for St. Patrick's Day. I omitted the bacon and substituted dried parsley for fresh. So yummy and a great way to get my kids to eat cabbage!

Excellent authentic recipe. Everyone liked it. Be sure to drain the cabbage very well to prevent the recipe from becoming to watery.

When I told our friend from Ireland I was making Colcannon Potatoes he said he wasn't crazy over them because they were so bland. Was he ever surprised at how tasty your recipe was and I do plan to make it again. Great side dish!

This is so good. Even the people who don't like cabbage really enjoyed this. It was even better leftover.

Used a bag of coleslaw mix, cooked in boiling salted water about 3 min.-then drained & sprayed w/ cold water. Mixed w/ the seasoned mashed potatoes--served w/ pork loin---some good dinner!!!!!!

Really great taste, we're vegetarians, so just left off the bacon. It will be a new favorite recipe.

I'm one quarter Irish and I love potato dishes of all sorts! :)

This is also Austrian, which is called Kurch. It's made with a rue, using bacon fat or oil and flour, browned and thinned with cabbage water. Potatoes are boiled in plain water. This is usually served with roast pork. Very delicious.

I have made this recipe for years not realizing it was Irish. My grandmother used to make it and she was from Belgium. My family loves the potatoes and cabbage.

We love this too. The cabbage mashes up with the potatoes quite well, and add so much more nuturition to regular old mashed potatoes. Honestly, I thought this would be gross, but I was wrong! With the bacon topping this is super healthy loaded potatoes. We tried it on St. Patty's day, but will use it all year long. Thanks!
