Here’s a simple Irish-inspired dinner recipe that uses only four ingredients:
Colcannon (Irish Mashed Potatoes with Cabbage)
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 small head of cabbage, chopped
- 1/2 cup butter
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions:
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
- In a separate pot, boil the cabbage until soft, about 5–7 minutes, and drain.
- Mash the potatoes with butter, then stir in the cooked cabbage.
- Add salt to taste and serve hot.
Optional twist: You can add a little milk if you have it for creamier potatoes, but the basic recipe is delicious with just these four ingredients.
If you want, I can give you a second four-ingredient Irish dinner recipe that’s more of a protein dish, like a simple Irish stew. Do you want me to do that?
