I JUST MADE THIS RECIPE AND YUMMY I ADDED MORE BACON AND CHEDDAR CHEESE TO MINE AND IS GONNA TOP IT WITH CORN BEEF HASE LETS SEE IF MY HUBBY WILL LIKE IT THAT WAY.
I loved, loved, loved it!!!
I brought this to a Global Potluck, and it was great! Enought to go around.
Much better than ordinary mashed potatoes. I would also add more bacon, and perhaps add chicken bouillon to the cooking water because I felt like taste was just slightly bland. I still felt this was a great and unusual recipe.
My husband was skeptical, so I made regular potatoes and this to see which my family preferred. This recipe was gone and asked for every night that week. Will definitely make again, only I will add more bacon like the others suggested. But all in all, it was great.
Very good. Made it for a potluck and it was very popular. The combination of potatoes, cabbage, and bacon is delicious.
I added a 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, YUM!
This recipe was so easy to make. I used deer meat instead of ground and it was just delicious. Great recipe.
Wow So good. My wife also really enjoyed this!
It was very tasty, and just to experiment, next time I make it I will go to the local Brit shop and pick up some Irish bacon to put in it! Yum!
Really tasty!
I thought it was pretty good, but I would probably add more bacon next time to give it more flavor.
My husband loved this! He said if I keep cooking like this he might actually keep me...lol. This is also great with sausage. Thanks!
The potatoes were very creamy. I don't typically like to mix vegetables in my potatoes, but I had to make this for St. Patrick's day.
I had colcannon in Ireland this past summer, and this was just as good! Excellent recipe!
I made this for my extended family so they could experience an authentic Irish meal. They thought it was really good and want me to make it again. This may just become an annual St. Patrick's Day dish in my family!
Just like my mom used to make! I loved it.
My family loved it, my son requested more bacon. I will make this again!
This is one of those side dishes that out-do the entree. I took it to a potluck and left with the only empty dish. :)
My kids did not like it; however, the adults did. Good recipe.
My family loved this dish. I added a little parmesan cheese. Will make again.
Absolutely loved this recipe! Reminds me of an hungarian dish my ex's mother used to make. Next time I make this I plan on adding Polska Kielbasa (or a sausage that is similar) to it and it will make it a casserole like dish.
The bacon makes this side dish very flavorful. Good for St. Patrick's Day and any hearty meat entree.
This was a great variation on mashed potatoes as well as cooked cabbage. I liked the combination much better than cabbage alone. The bacon was a really good flavor, too. we had it with corned beef on St. Patrick's Day.
This was a good twist on fried cabbage and mashed potatoes. Mixing them together was an interesting idea. I thought it was okay but didn't care for the bacon. My husband liked it quite a bit and had two big servings. I would think about adding some cheese next time.
I had a recipe for this that used leeks. It came out wonderful and the entire family loved it. Great new addition if you like authentic Irish dishes.
