Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil adds richness and helps sauté the vegetables
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage offers a fresh crunch
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3/4 cup water for pressure cooking
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream provides a rich texture
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt enhances flavors
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper adds subtle kick

Instructions

  • Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function. Add the olive oil and heat for a minute. Add the shredded cabbage and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Peel and chop the Yukon gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  • Once the cabbage has softened, add the chopped potatoes, water, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir gently to combine.
  • Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. After cooking, allow for a natural release for 5 minutes before venting any remaining pressure.
  • Open the lid and drain any excess water if necessary. Add heavy cream and unsalted butter to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  • Spoon the colcannon potatoes into a serving dish. Drizzle with extra melted butter and garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.
