0:03
so sweetheart I'm gonna make you a
0:05
traditional but you're gonna cook it for
0:08
you this dish because we have the Irish
0:10
stew that you made so I'm gonna make you
0:12
a potato dish it's called colcannon it
0:14
means white headed cabbage in Gaelic
0:16
it's a very old tradition that we're not
0:19
wait to learn a new way to prepare my
0:23
favorite food all right so let's peel
0:25
some potatoes okay and I'm gonna tell
0:27
you a little bit about this dish so I
0:28
learned this dish from my mother who
0:30
learned from her mother
0:31
so traditionally this dish was made for
0:34
Halloween as a Halloween dish Halloween
0:37
now why is that what and men would do is
0:39
they would hide little trinkets in there
0:41
and if any and if any woman found it the
0:44
guy would marry her oh my and that's
0:46
what that tradition is you have to be
0:48
very careful where you put your trinket
0:49
you would want to be very careful king
0:51
of mashed potatoes have you ever gone
0:55
out and dug for potatoes I have I grew
0:58
up in a farming area in artists so I'm
0:59
very familiar to that you know want some
1:02
of my very favorite memories Gavin my
1:05
grandmother Paul who basically spent the
1:09
most time with me in the kitchen and she
1:12
had her own garden I would go out there
1:15
to Grandma's and help her dig her
1:18
potatoes and I adored it it was like
1:22
going on an Easter egg hunt
1:24
all right so speaking of potatoes yep
1:28
let's see how many potato dishes we can
1:32
come up with you you go first
1:35
you're my kiss rock potatoes french
1:38

1:42
colcannon you should have said that one
1:45
first and she country fried sweet potato
1:48
fries we said nothing about no sweet
1:51
potato okay so a pot of water add some
1:58
okay just a nice little handful of salt
2:00
in there it needs salt because otherwise
2:02
you're gonna have eaten potatoes it gets
2:03
the flavor into EES so we're just gonna
2:05
boil these this you know same when you
2:07
boil potatoes and we're just gonna make
2:08
mash until they're tender correct lid on
2:10
there and forget about okay forget about
2:13
that about it so what I'm gonna do now
2:15
is just saute some cabbage okay a simple
2:17
so a little bit of olive oil please
2:19
there you go perfect so all I have here
2:23
is some training shredded cabbage okay
2:26

2:28
in two dishes so far it's pretty good
2:31
for you though yes it's be rolled in
2:33
nutrients okay let's put some fresh
2:36
thyme in here I like it at a very very
2:40
simple dish and this is something again
2:41
that I would have grown up eating all
2:43
the time and because you know
2:45
traditionally we we ours would have had
2:47
potatoes with every single meal believe
2:48
me growing up what do you think you
2:51
probably don't want that Brown you know
2:53
I just want that whites we can put the
2:55
heat down okay laughs it's a nice fresh
2:57
thyme in there just give it a nice
2:58
earthy flavor here so let's check our
3:03
spots and see how we're looking okay her
3:07
booyah in business beautiful look at
3:11
that all right so enjoy yourself okay
3:13
I'm gonna go back in the pot perfect
3:16
heat and we'll hear that sizzling in a
3:20
minute we just check my cabbage already
3:23
turn that down I don't know we're golden
3:25
this is great okay you can turn it off
3:27
right actually right now so just a nice
3:31
mash on these okay they don't have to be
3:35
too smooth because you know they're
3:36
homemade I don't know you you want to
3:38
taste a clump up potato or should it no
3:41
here's the way that I make my mashed
3:43
potatoes a little bit clean a little
3:44
healthier okay I heard that you're not a
3:47
big butter fan so I'm going to just
3:50
respect that today and I'm gonna use my
3:52
chicken stock to add a little bit of
3:53
moisture no no I are you know what yeah
3:56
I'm in your house I must do that so
3:58
that's what we're doing no butter today
4:00
we're having a butter free mashed potato
4:02
and as an Irishman that can hurt I'm
4:04
calling your mama boy 555 seasoned salt
4:10
and pepper and watch this cabbage go
4:13
straight in okay straight in this could
4:17
not be any easier and of course you have
4:22
the flavor of the chicken broth which is
4:29
davin look out there is that would you I
4:32
see some dolphins that out of here you
4:35
know what you can put some on yours this
4:36
is thing like a butter free how about
4:38
that that's a compromise okay why didn't
4:42
you look at that no no dummy no and
4:45
that's it this is cold cannon you keep
4:48
it very rustic that look good it looks
4:51
so unpretentious but you can see this is
4:55
peasants to me that it's it looks so
4:56
honest this is like a true Irish peasant
5:00
I love honest food no frills oh look
5:06
how's that little cream cheese I didn't
5:09
buon appetito thank you sweetheart
5:14
first thing you'll taste we will taste
5:16
the time and your little crunch on the
5:19
cabbage and you can still taste it on
5:23
some mashed potato so it's actual real
5:24

5:31
