St. Patrick's Day is Colcannon Dish Day!

Updated: Aug 23, 2021


This recipe is a variation of the famous Colcannon dish. Originally the Irish Colcannon is made with mashed potatoes, kale and scallions.

It is a great dish you can make yourself with vegetables you like.

I made my Colcannon with pieces of potatoes, garlic, leek, baby bok choy, milk, butter, shredded cheddar cheese and smoked salmon.










What is bok choy?

Bok choy or bak choi is a Chinese version of cabbage. You can get them as one big one or smaller versions as baby bok choy. You can eat them raw or cooked. For this Colcannon dish I used the baby bok choy.

For cleaning: cut off the end part and take off each stalk and leave. Rinse them thoroughly. Dry before cutting.

It is best to use a salad spinner to dry the, rinsed with cold water, leek and bok choy before cutting. This is to prevent the Colcannon dish to become soggy and wet.
