Red Potato Colcannon

There are countless variations on this classic Irish potato-and-cabbage
combination. This one is made with steamed red potatoes, sauteed cabbage
and just a touch of butter.

1 pound small red potatoes, scrubbed and cut in half
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced
6 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 1/2 head)
1 cup low-fat milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a Dutch oven. Place potatoes in a
steamer basket and steam, covered, until just cooked through, about 15
minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add
onion and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add cabbage and
continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to
brown, about 5 minutes.

Reduce heat to low. Stir in milk, salt and white pepper; cover and cook
until the cabbage is tender, about 8 minutes. Add the cabbage mixture to
the potatoes. Mash with a potato masher or a large fork to desired
consistency.

4 servings of about 1 cup each.
