Tasty Mashed Potatoes ~ again!


IRISH COLCANNON


Adapted from The Happy Herbivore Abroad, by Lindsay Nixon

2 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled, chopped into 1" cubes

Two handfuls of shredded cabbage OR about 3 large leaves of washed kale, chopped

1 large onion, diced

generous dash Creole seasoning (to taste)

salt and black pepper (to taste)

unsweetened soy milk (enough to mash potatoes)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or more, to taste)


Instructions.

Place potatoes in a large pot of water. Add a dash of salt, and bring to boil. Stir in cabbage or kale. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer.

Cover, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage or kale is soft, and potatoes are tender.

Remove from heat, and drain.

Meanwhile, saute onions in a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add just enough water to prevent sticking. Add a few dashes of Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper. When onion is fragrant and begins to brown, remove from heat and set aside.

With a potato masher or electric mixer, smash the potatoes with enough soy milk to achieve the right mashed/smashed potato consistency. Mix in sauteed onions and Dijon mustard.

Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
