Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the cabbage. Remove any tough outer leaves and core the cabbage. Slice the cabbage into thin strips.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet, season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly golden. Set aside.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. In a separate pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until translucent and fragrant.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with a potato masher or fork, while adding the sautéed onion and garlic, warmed milk, nutmeg, black pepper, and additional salt to taste.
Gently fold the sautéed cabbage into the mashed potatoes until well-combined.
Transfer the Koolmoes mixture to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a hearty side dish or a vegetarian main course.
