Colcannon
- 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
- 1 savoy cabbage, trimmed, pale-green leaves finely shredded (4 cups)
- 1 leek, pale-green and white parts only, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- Coarse salt
- Preheat the broiler.
- Peel and quarter the potatoes, and place in a medium saucepan; add enough cold water to cover.
- Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan.
- Mash them with a potato masher, or pass them through a ricer; cover the pan to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, in another saucepan, combine the cabbage, leek, milk, 2 tablespoons butter, and nutmeg; season with salt.
- Cover, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage and leek are soft but not browned, about 15 minutes.
- Stir into the potatoes.
- Spread the mixture in an 8-inch-square baking dish.
- Make a small well in the center, and place under the broiler until lightly browned on top, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the broiler.
- Place the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the well.
- Serve immediately, spooning melted butter from the well onto each serving, if desired.
