Colcannon is a traditional Irish dish of mashed potatoes and greens, and this recipe from our friends at Riverford makes a comforting side for a plate of Ben’s Traditional Pork sausages.

You can use spring greens or kale in place of the cabbage, depending on what you have to hand. If you’re short on time, simply leave out the baking and serve it straight away.
