  • 900 g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 head of cabbage or a bunch of kale, roughly chopped
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 60 g butter, divided
  • 120 ml milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 200 g shredded cheddar cheese (or any strong, mature cheese of your preference)
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped

Method

10 steps
  1. Boil the peeled and chopped potatoes in water until tender.
  2. Infuse the milk with finely chopped onions by adding them to a pan with some milk and heating gently.
  3. Sauté the finely chopped onions in a pan with some butter and pepper until softened.
  4. Add sliced cabbage or kale to the onions and cook until slightly softened but still textured.
  5. Drain the cooked potatoes and shake off excess moisture by returning them to the pan over low heat.
  6. Mash the potatoes with the infused milk and butter, leaving some lumps for texture.
  7. Mix in about half of the cooked cabbage and onions into the mashed potatoes.
  8. Layer the mashed potatoes and cabbage mixture in an 8x8 inch dish, adding a layer of cheese and more cabbage on top.
  9. Sprinkle additional cheese and black pepper over the top layer.
  10. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C (360°F) for 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
