Here’s a new Celtic-inspired recipe for you to try: “Celtic Colcannon Cakes”

Ingredients:

• 2 cups mashed potatoes (prepared with butter and milk)
• 1 cup cooked kale or cabbage, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

1. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cooked kale or cabbage, grated Cheddar cheese, green onions, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Gradually add the flour to the potato mixture, stirring until it forms a thick and cohesive dough-like consistency.
3. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round patties, approximately 1/2-inch thick.
4. Heat the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. Place the colcannon cakes in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Once cooked, transfer the colcannon cakes to a serving plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
