Recipe for Potato, Parsnip and Parsley Colcannon

Songs have been sung and poems have been written about colcannon. It’s one of Ireland’s most famous traditional potato dishes. It’s comfort food at its very best and terrific for a party.

In Dublin, parsnip colcannon was very popular, the proportion of parsnips to potato varied. Here is my version which is a big hit in Cork, at any rate! Why not try a dish for St Patrick’s Day?
