What do the Irish call bubble and squeak?

The Irish have their own version of bubble and squeak, and it is called colcannon or sometimes cally. Bubble and squeak is a British dish made from leftover fried potatoes and cabbage or Brussels sprouts. The Irish equivalent, colcannon, is a traditional dish made from mashed potatoes mixed with cabbage or kale, butter, milk, and sometimes scallions or leeks, and it is especially popular on Halloween and St. Patrick's Day. While bubble and squeak is typically fried as a patty from leftovers, colcannon is usually served as a creamy mash. Another Irish dish similar to bubble and squeak is boxty, which is a potato pancake, but colcannon is the closest direct equivalent. In some parts of Ireland, leftover colcannon fried up the next day is also called bubble and squeak or just fried colcannon. The name bubble and squeak comes from the sounds the ingredients make while frying, while colcannon comes from Irish cal ceannann meaning white-headed cabbage. So if you ask for bubble and squeak in Ireland, most people will know what you mean but will likely call their traditional version colcannon, which is a beloved comfort food.
