Celebrate St. Patty’s day with a hefty bowl of Irish Colcannon Potatoes made with leeks, cabbage, and caramelized onions. The perfect side dish to grilled chicken
Amazing Irish Colcannon Potatoes
Let’s talk about these Colcannon Potatoes, aside from their delicious savory flavor, they are a must recipe for St. Patty’s Day. Imagine creamy mashed potatoes mixed with sautéed delicate leeks, soft cabbage, and caramelized onions.
I can serve this any time of the year and is a perfect way to hide veggies from picky-eating kids.
My favorite part: making a well in the center of the potatoes and adding a pad of butter. The traditional way the Irish serve it.
When the butter melts it creates a soft warm pool of deliciousness.
Now that St. Patrick’s Day is upon us, can you believe that Spring is almost here?
For those of you who are lucky to live in places with 4 seasons, Spring must be beautiful. Seeing the snow melt, the trees grow leaves and flowers bloom.
Here in Miami, there’s not much change. We just go between not so hot, to kinda cool, to scorching heat.
But of course, I can’t complain… We live where people come for vacation.
I hope you can try these delicious Irish Colcannon Potatoes at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet.

While traveling in Ireland I fell in love with Colcannon Potatoes, along with all Irish food. The way Colcannon Potatoes are prepared in Ireland is with what they call bacon and to Americans it’s thick sliced ham. The “bacon” is cut into bite size pieces and used instead of leeks in this recipe. I agree the pad of butter makes this dish so delicious! Irish Colcannon Potatoes are at the top of my favourite Irish dishes. I make it every St. Patrick’s Day.
Thanks for the clarification Becky. I don’t eat pig, next time I’ll add some turkey bacon to give it that yummy flavor you’re describing
