Instructions
- Peel and chop the potatoes into even uniform chunks.
- Add the potato chunks to cold water. Add salt, about 1 tsp. Boil until tender (maybe 5-10 minutes).
- While the potatoes are boiling, peel and finely dice the onions.
- Drain the water off the potatoes and allow any steam to evaporate.
- Remove the first couple of leaves from the whole cabbage. Save them. Then shred the cabbage into small, uniform pieces.
- Add the diced onion to a pot / pan containing melted butter. Then add the shredded cabbage.
- Mix well to coat the onions and cabbage in the butter. Set the burner to a low - medium heat.
- Take the saved outer cabbage leaves and place them on top of the sautéing cabbage and onions. These cabbage leaves help to 'steam' the vegetables. Cover with a lid.
- After 10 minutes or so, remove the cabbage leaves from the pot and add the milk. Bring the milk and cabbage mixture to the boil.
- Combine the potatoes and cabbage mixture together.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Then using a hand held mixer or a hand masher, mash the entire mixture together. Serve hot.
