"Spuds for St. Patrick's Day, though they are great any time. Such a great day to add veggies to the table, especially for the little ones. Great served with corned beef and carrots, with rolls on the side."

Delicious! Made exactly as written, except the addition of about a teaspoon of minced garlic that was languishing on my cutting board! Will make again! Made for play in What's On the Menu? tag game at Food Friends & Fun.

Sometimes simplicity is great and this is one of those times. We had corned beef with a mix of beets and carrots, with rolls too. A delicious St Patty's Day dinner had by all!

I really loved the idea of making the Colcannon with kale instead of cabbage for change . It was absolutely delicious!

I have always wanted to try Colcannon and am so glad I included these in my Irish dinner on St. Patrick's Day. They are creamy and delicious and tasted just great!

I made a special meal for my husband and friends and made corned beef in the crockpot with potatoes, but I also wanted to make this colcannon, because it looked so good and I love mashed potatoes, so I made both, and these were chosen over the potatoes from the crockpot! I used kale to really make them green and they looked so pretty sitting on the table with the corned beef and other vegetables. We had such a nice dinner to celebrate my first St Patrick's day with my new husband and friends!
