Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes until tender, then drain well.
While the potatoes cook, finely slice the cabbage and the onion.
Heat 25 grams of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cabbage and onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
Mash the cooked potatoes with the remaining 25 grams of butter and double cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Fold the sautéed cabbage and onion into the mashed potatoes, mixing well to combine.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a baking dish and spread the mashed potato mixture evenly into it.
Grate the cheddar cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm as a standalone dish or alongside roasted meats.
