Colcannon?? What the heck is it??

Lord Honey, I always knew I had some Irish blood in me, but when I found a recipe for Colcannon I knew those roots must run deep. So you may be askin'--"What the heck is Colcannon? Well honey, let me tell you in one word--tators! Yes, mashed tators, to be exact--with a few ingredients that make it a traditional Irish dish--usually kale or cabbage.

If you're like me--I had you at tator. Right??

Well, I have taken the classic Colcannon and made it into one of my favorite tator dishes--griddle cakes.

Say What???? Yes, its true sweet children--I know--ya love me even more--don'tcha.

I never keep any SR flour in my house. IMO, it is just one more thing to take up space when I already have AP & leaveners. How would I substitute in this recipe?
