Colcanno - Scottish Potato dish

Colcanno 
  1. 4 medium-sized potatoes, such as Yukon gold
  2. 4 ounces Saga Bleu Cheese, diced
  3. 2/3 cup milk or half and half
  4. 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  5. 1 cup shredded cabbage
  6. 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  7. 1 tablespoon butter
  8. 1 lemon, zested
  9. Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Put the potatoes into a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Salt the water and cook the potatoes until tender.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, heat extra virgin olive oil and butter in a separate saucepan. Once the butter starts to melt, add the onion and cabbage and cook on medium until they soften and caramelize, about 5 - 8 minutes.
  3. Once potatoes are done (when they are tender), drain and return the potatoes to the hot pot. Add the Saga Bleu Cheese, the caramelized onions, the cabbage, and the milk. Toss to coat the potatoes (the mixture will look slightly mashed).
  4. Stir in the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve!
