Got this out of a Jane Brody cookbook. I guess I like it because it has cheese! And I definitely use more than the recipe calls for. I wasn't sure about the prep time - think that would depend on various factors...so I upped it a little.

4 cups shredded green cabbage
1 cup chopped onion

Directions

1
Boil potatoes in lightly salted water until tender.
2
Drain,reserving the liquid,and set them aside to cool Using the reserved potato water,boil the cabbage and onion for about 5 minutes- Drain and set aside.

I loe colcannon and love this recipe with the cheese added. The cheese (I used sharp cheddar) gives this a nice golden color and slightly cheesey flavor. To make this a bit quicker, I peeled and cut up my potatoes prior to boiling them. I'll make this again. Thanx, MEP. We miss you.

Very good and very comforting - I'd definitely make this again. I know it wouldn't necessarily be tradidional, but the addition of green onion would work here.

With additions, this recipe would is a 5 star treat, although it has more fat than Jane Brody's recipe. I used more butter and milk, and added about 1/2 cup of sour cream. Also added a chopped scallion (green onion including the green top,) a little more salt, lots of pepper, and a dash of sugar. As the cabbage and onion were cooking, I was concerned about adding the cabbage (it smelled funny) to one of my favorite dishes, mashed potatoes. But the end result was yummy!
