Southern Colcannon

My version of the Irish colcannon...pure comfort food and you don't even have to break a sweat! I usually steam the cabbage and leeks over the cooking potatoes in my pasta pot with steamer insert (saves burners and energy--two birds, one stone). Diced and fried bacon, ham, corned beef or seasoned ground beef may also be added to make it a main dish feast!

    Oh gosh, this was so good! I ate it alone...did not even try the rest of my dinner...this was dinner enough. The only change I made was to use my Better Butter recipe to keep the fat content down. This what I consider real old-fashion cooking!
