Ingredients
4 cups diced potatoes
1 head Savoy or green cabbage, finely shredded
2 large onions, diced
1 stick (½ cup) butter
1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Boil diced potatoes in a medium saucepan until fork tender. Drain and return to the pan. Mash until smooth and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add cabbage and onions and sauté until wilted and tender, but not browned. Remove from heat.
Stir mashed potatoes into the cabbage mixture. Add half of the shredded cheddar and mix until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer mixture to a 2-quart (9×9-inch) casserole dish.
Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over the top. Cover with lid or foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove cover and bake an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is golden and bubbly.
Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
For extra richness, add a splash of cream to the mashed potatoes.
You can substitute leeks for onions for a more traditional variation.
Pairs well with roasted meats or sausages.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
