Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 300 grams Green cabbage
- 1 medium Onion
- 50 grams Butter
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 50 milliliters Whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, thinly slice the onion and shred the cabbage.
In a skillet, melt 25 grams of butter over medium heat. Sauté the onions until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the cabbage to the skillet with the onions and sauté for another 5-7 minutes, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the remaining butter along with the milk, and mash the potatoes until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Fold the sautéed cabbage and onions into the mashed potatoes, mixing well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Grate the Cheddar cheese and sprinkle it generously over the top of the potato mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish alongside roasted meats or as a standalone vegetarian main course.
