Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams Potatoes
- 300 grams Green cabbage
- 1 large Onion
- 50 grams Butter
- 150 grams Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 50 milliliters Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a pot of salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely shred the cabbage and dice the onion.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 25 grams of butter. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Then, add the shredded cabbage and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and mash them with the remaining 25 grams of butter and the milk. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Fold the cooked cabbage and onions into the mashed potatoes until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking 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 and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as a hearty side dish or on its own!
