Colcannon Recipe

Instead of your regular mashed potatoes, make this Colcannon Recipe. The Irish would serve this dish on Halloween and place small coin prizes into the mash as a surprise. But don’t mention that to your family or they’ll be looking for loose change every time. But wait! That may well be a way to get them to eat their veggies.
