Colcannon

I dusted off the Irish cookbook for this cold rainy day and made some Colcannon.  Colcannon is basically buttery mashed potatoes with cabbage and it is ridiculously delicious...especially considering it has a vegetable in it.

3 lb Idaho potatoes (skin on), quartered
8 tbsp butter
1 lb green cabbage, sliced
1 cup hot milk
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp pepper

Boil the potatoes in salted water until soft.  In the meantime, steam the cabbage with 1/2 cup of water in a pot with lid over medium heat for 5 minutes.  Drain the potatoes and place back in pot with the butter, cabbage, salt, pepper, milk and parsley.  Using a potato masher, mash all of the ingredients up together.

Sorry for the crap photo my son was trying to stick his fingers in the potatoes and I was trying to block him.
