Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes peeled and chunked
- 1 pound green cabbage diced finely
- 1/2 cup butter divided
- 1/2 cup milk any type
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup sour cream optional
- 3 stalks green onions optional
Instructions
- Peel and roughly dice the potatoes. Boil a pot of water and add the potatoes to the pot. Boil them until they are soft.
- Finely chop the cabbage. See the photo above for how finely I recommend chopping it. Add one tablespoon of butter to a large skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the cabbage to stir to coat. Sauté until the cabbage is soft and caramelized. Set aside until the potatoes are finished.
- Drain the soft potatoes and add to a large mixing bowl or bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment. Add 1/2 a cup of butter to the bowl and mash well. Add 1/4 cup of milk to the mix and mash again until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cabbage to the bowl with the potatoes and mix well.
- Transfer to a serving dish, if desired. Top with chopped green onions and sour cream and serve right away.
