Colcannon

Ingredients

1kg potato, well scrubbed (cut any large ones in half)
100g butter
140g sliced back bacon, finely chopped
1 small Savoy cabbage, finely shredded
150ml double cream

Directions

STEP 1 Tip the potatoes into a large saucepan of water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15-20 mins, or until the flesh is tender when pierced.

STEP 2 Meanwhile, heat quarter of the butter in a saucepan, then fry the bacon and half the cabbage for 5 mins (see Kevin’s tip, below, for how to use remaining cabbage). Turn off the heat and set aside. Drain potatoes in a colander and peel while still hot.

STEP 3 Mash potato until smooth. Heat cream with remaining butter and, when almost boiling, beat into the potato. Add bacon and cabbage to potato and mix. Season if you want.

I love having the opportunity to buy local veg from a local company. I feel privileged to have really good quality vegetables from such a friendly and obliging team.
