Colcannon, a traditional Irish dish

Here's an Irish dish we love, its Colcannon.
Colcannon, a traditional Irish dish created from mashed potatoes, cabbage, butter, salt, and pepper.
When we make it we like to add, cream, onions, scallions, garlic and Irish bacon.
Irish bacon is a much-loved meat, and if Ireland really has a national dish, this just might be a candidate.
In Ireland, the term "bacon" is used to mean any joint of pork except the leg, which is ham.
Here's a good video on how to make Colcannon, enjoy!
