Mashed floury potatoes folded with sweated kale or cabbage, spring onions and a generous amount of butter and warm cream. The Irish potato-and-greens classic, served at Halloween with a hidden ring for luck.
Colcannon has been an Irish staple since at least the 17th century, taking its name from the Gaelic cál ceannann (white-headed cabbage). The Halloween tradition of hiding tokens in the mash for good luck dates to the 19th century. Dublin pub kitchens at Gallagher's Boxty House, Delahunt and Bastible all run defensible versions, especially through the autumn-winter months.
