Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into large pieces
- 3 cups finely shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the potatoes into a medium-sized pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Add the cabbage to the pot during the last five minutes of cooking.
- Drain the vegetables and return them to the pot. Add the heavy cream and butter and mash with a potato masher or a handheld mixer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
