    Irish Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish that goes perfect with any type of meat, we especially enjoyed it with the meat and Guinness Pie.  It is by no means a low calorie affair, however, every once in a while, why not!  This dish is made with potatoes, cabbage, onion, bacon and yes butter!  Guaranteed you won't have any leftovers!
