Ingredients




1 1/2 pounds potato
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup milk
6 tablespoons butter, divided into 3 and 3
1 head savoy cabbage
1 small onion, diced
salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, loosely packed & shredded

Preparation

1 Clean potatoes and cook in low boiling water for mashing. Chop onion and shred cabbage with a knife, removing any tough ribs and core of cabbage. Saute onions and cabbage in 3 Tbs of butter, adding salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat when cooked through and just before onions and cabbage start to brown. 2 When potatoes are cooked through, drain. Roughly mash by hand, adding chicken stock, milk, 3 Tbs butter, and salt and pepper to taste. Adjust liquids if necessary. Stir in cooked onion and cabbage. Put mixture in baking dish and sprinkle top with cheddar cheese. I used an English Farmhouse Cheddar. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 375F/ 190C. Broil the top for a few minutes at the end to brown the top.
