Colcannon Mash with Poached Egg

Serves 2
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
400g potatoes, diced
¼ Savoy cabbage, approx. 190g, shredded
25ml semi skimmed hot milk
100g smoked back bacon, diced
50g mature Cheddar cheese, grated (optional)
2 medium eggs

Recipe:
Boil the potatoes for 10-12 minutes until tender then drain and transfer to a large bowl.  Add the cabbage to the same pan and cover with boiling water and cook for 3 minutes.
Meanwhile mash the potato with the milk and season to taste. Drain the cabbage and stir into the potato.
Fry the bacon in a non-stick pan for 4-5 minutes until browned and stir into the Colcannon. Finally add the cheese, if using.
Boil some water in a small pan and poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes or according to taste and serve on top of the Colcannon.

Potato Tip: For a really fluffy mash use a floury variety like King Edward or Desiree.
