Colcannon Jacket Potatoes
Give jacket potatoes a new "look and taste".
Ingredients
- 4 medium to large potatoes, scrubbed but not peeled
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3 rashers lean bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups finely shredded cabbage ( crinkly Savoy or Chinese cabbage is best )
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1/2 cup grated cheese
- salt & fresley ground black pepper
Method
Bake the potatoes in a 200 degree C oven for 30 - 40 minutes until cooked or microwave to speed up the process. Cool the potatoes so that you can handle them comfortably. Cut off the tops and scoop out the cooked potato into a bowl and mash this with a fork. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the chopped bacon & onion and cook for 3 minutes before adding the cabbage. Stir fry a few minutes. Add the mashed potato and parsley and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spoon the mixture back into the potato jackets, sprinkle with grated cheese and replace the "lids". Reheat either in the oven or the microwave to serve. These can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
