Servings 8
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 small head of green cabbage finely chopped
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons oil for cooking
- 2-3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup shredded cheese of your choice
- 2-3 cloves of minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons of cream or milk optional for creaminess
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes:
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Cabbage and Onion:
- While the potatoes boil, add oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and cabbage. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mash the Potatoes:
- Mash the boiled potatoes with the butter, and if you'd like, add a bit of cream or milk for extra creaminess. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine and Assemble:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Combine the mashed potatoes, cooked cabbage, and onions in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake the Casserole:
- Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you want a golden-brown crust, broil it for a few extra minutes.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven, and serve warm.
