Instructions

  1. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover it with cold water, ensuring the water level is about 1 inch over the potatoes.
  2. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. While the potatoes cook, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the cabbage for 5-6 minutes, or until wilted and tender.
  4. Stir in the white parts of the green onions and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth.
  6. Stir in the warm milk and the remaining butter until the mixture is creamy and well-blended.
  7. Gently fold the sautéed cabbage and green onion mixture into the mashed potatoes. Add the green parts of the onions for a fresh, mild onion flavor. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm! Optionally, make a small well in the center, and place a small knob of butter in the well for presentation.

Notes

  • Pick the right potatoes. Yukon Golds make a creamy mash, while Russets give a fluffier texture. And mash while the potatoes are hot. They absorb butter and milk best when they’re still steaming.
  • Salt your water well. This is your best chance to season the potatoes all the way through.
  • Don’t add cold milk. Warm it up first so the potatoes stay creamy and smooth.
  • Use a potato ricer if you want silky-smooth mash. Otherwise, a masher works just fine!
  • Extra butter = extra flavor. Stir in a little more at the end for that perfect richness. Seriously, that butter well in the center? Not just for looks—it melts in and makes every bite better.
