Golden Colcannon PieChris Gentile

Colcannon, a classic Irish combination of mashed potatoes with cabbage or kale, is standard winter fare. If that sounds, well, boring, trust us, this version is anything but that. We freshen it up by cooking the potatoes and cabbage separately, then we 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.

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.
