Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 6 tablespoons Butter
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks, then place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
While potatoes cook, finely shred the cabbage. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet, season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and continue to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Spread half of the mashed potatoes evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Top the mashed potatoes with the cooked cabbage mixture, spreading it evenly.
Spread the remaining mashed potatoes over the cabbage layer, smoothing it with a spatula.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top, followed by the breadcrumbs and paprika.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
