Golden Colcannon Pie

          Colcannon, a classic Irish combination of mashed potatoes with cabbage or kale, is standard winter fare. If that sounds, well, boring, trust me, this version is anything but that.  We'll  make it easy to serve for a party by adding an egg and baking it in a pie pan, so that you can cut it into wedges.

·         We need

1/2  head  green cabbage ( I use kale ), halved again and cored

·         500 g   potatoes, 

·         1/2 cup chopped scallions

·         5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

·         1 large egg, lightly beaten

·         Special equipment: a 23 cm pie plate, potato masher   ...   and pressenting :
        
          Miss Scallion                                                 and                                         Mr.Kale

  

How to make 

Steam cabbage in a steamer set over boiling water, covered, until just tender, 15 to 25 minutes. Remove lid, and when cool enough to handle, finely chop leaves.

Preheat oven  with rack in middle.

While cabbage is steaming, peel and quarter potatoes. Generously cover potatoes with cold water in a 3– to 4–quart saucepan and add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and briskly simmer, partially covered, until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

Drain potatoes well and mash in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in cabbage, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste. Cool to warm and stir in egg.

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Brush pie plate with some of butter. Spread potato mixture evenly in plate and brush with remaining butter.

Bake until golden, about 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Cooks' Note:•Pie can be assembled 1 day ahead. Cool completely, then cover and chill. Allow an extra 10 minutes or so to get the pie golden if it is going straight from the refrigerator into the oven.
