Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish made with mashed potatoes, cabbage or kale, and butter. Its history dates back to the 18th century and it was often served during Halloween festivities. The dish has humble origins, rooted in Irish farm cooking, and has since become a staple in Irish cuisine. Chefs and home cooks alike have put their own spin on the classic recipe, adding ingredients like leeks, onions, or bacon for extra flavor. Today, colcannon can be found in many Irish pubs and restaurants, especially in regions like Dublin and Galway. For the best version of this dish, look for a restaurant that uses locally sourced, fresh ingredients and serves it with a side of traditional Irish soda bread.
