Colcannon

Ireland

Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish made from mashed potatoes mixed with cooked cabbage or kale and sometimes scallions. It is a comforting and nutritious dish often associated with celebrations like Halloween in Ireland. In some traditions, small objects like coins or rings are hidden within the Colcannon, and those who find them receive good luck or a future marriage.
