For an even richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk to poach the leeks and mash the potatoes. Feel free to experiment with different types of cabbage, such as Savoy or Napa, for a slightly different flavor and texture. If you don't have mace, a pinch of nutmeg can be used as a substitute. Colcannon is traditionally served with a knob of butter melting in the center, but you can also top it with crispy bacon or crumbled sausage for a heartier meal.
