Creamy Colcannon recipe – With Spinach and Ham this is always a winning side dish, especially on Saint Patrick’s Day

We love this Creamy Colcannon, not only on or around St Patrick’s Day, but have it on the menu at least once a month.

I am busy putting together our actual menu for St Patrick’s Day this year and have tried many side dishes, but my family have already requested this Colcannon, which is a creamy, heavenly dish to be part of the menu.

Well, I am definitely not complaining as this is one of my favorite recipes for a Colcannon.

I know this recipe is not an authentic Irish recipe, but it is one that goes so well with most meat dishes traditionally served on St Patrick’s Day.

Something else I love … quick, easy and no strange ingredients. I use a couple of slices (thinly sliced) cooked Ham from the Deli and the Spinach I have growing in the garden.
