While looking for another way to make mashed potatoes I stumbled onto a very yummy alternative. Originally from Scotland and most likely created to use up leftovers, this dish has become a favorite. Ingredients: 4 cups peeled and diced potatoes 1 head Savoy or green cabbage, finely chopped 2 large onions, diced 1 stick butter 1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded salt and pepper to taste Preparation Directions: Preheat oven to 400˚. Boil potatoes until fork tender. Drain and put back into pan. Mash potatoes until smooth and set aside. Melt butter in large skillet and sauté cabbage and onions until wilted, but not browned. Remove from heat. Mix the potatoes, cabbage, and onions with half the cheese, and stir until cheese is melted. Add salt and pepper to taste. Put mixture in a 2 quart (or 9x9) casserole dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Cover with lid or foil and bake for 30 minutes. Bake an additional 5 minutes uncovered until cheese on top is golden and bubbly. (Recipe from 12Tomatoes.com, adapted from Undiscovered Scotland.)
