Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams Potatoes
- 300 grams Green cabbage
- 1 large Onion
- 75 grams Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 150 grams Cheddar cheese
- 50 milliliters Milk (optional for creamier mash)
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely shred the cabbage and thinly slice the onion.
In a skillet, melt 25 grams of the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add the shredded cabbage and sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened but still retaining some bite. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot. Add the remaining 50 grams of butter, along with the optional milk if desired. Mash until smooth and fluffy. Season with salt and black pepper.
Fold the sautéed cabbage and onions into the mashed potatoes, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Transfer the mash mixture to a greased ovenproof dish and spread 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, golden, and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Rumpledethumps as a side dish or a hearty vegetarian main dish!
