Fried Colcannon

Colcannon is an Irish dish made from mashed potato, cabbage, salt, pepper and whatever other bits you fancy throwing in. It's absolutely delicious, and a great way to use up excess mashed potato (although I made some from scratch). I like to stir some mustard into the mash and serve it with fried bacon. It made my mum and me a very happy lunch yesterday - and if you've got everything left over, it's pretty quick too.
