For an extra layer of flavor, consider sautéing the leeks in butter before boiling. This adds a subtle sweetness and depth to the dish. If you don't have a blender, you can finely chop the kale, leeks, and white parts of the green onions and sauté them in butter until softened before adding them to the potatoes. Feel free to adjust the amount of cream to achieve your desired consistency. For a richer Colcannon, use whole milk or half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
