Irish Colcannon Potatoes and Cabbage

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! I thought I'd try my hand at some Irish food, today. This was a hit, and the boys devoured it!

Irish Colcannon Potatoes and Cabbage (from the about.com vegetarian website)

Ingredients:
water for boiling
5 large potatoes
1 head green cabbage, chopped
3 leeks, sliced (used onions instead)
1 cup soy milk (used regular)
1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:Place potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for at least 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
In a separate pot, boil the cabbage in water for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In another pot or skillet, cook leeks in soy milk until tender, about 15 minutes.
When potatoes are done cooking, mash them together with leeks, soy milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add cabbage and stir to combine. Add more salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
