Yum!
I’d never had colcannon, although I did see Tyler Florence make it on Food Network once, and it looked SO GOOD, I meant to try it, but it just never happened.
My mom and her boyfriend were travelling through on their way to Arizona last night, and I thought I’d try something in honor of St. Pat’s Day – but honestly, I hate corned beef. So I thought I’d give roast chicken & colcannon a try.
Potatoes, cabbage, onions and bacon – I mean, really – how can you go wrong? Check this out!
