Colcannon

 

1kg potato, 
100g butter 
140g finely sliced onion 
half small Savoy cabbage, finely shredded 
150ml double cream 

Boil the potatoes for 20 minutes. 
Heat a quarter of the butter in a saucepan, then fry the onion until just starting to turn gold, then add  cabbage and cook for a further 5 mins.  Turn off the heat and set aside. Drain potatoes in a colander. Mash potato until smooth. 

Heat cream with remaining butter and, when almost boiling, beat into the potato. Add onion and cabbage to potato and mix. Season with salt and pepper.
