Ingredients
6largerusset potatoescut into cubes (peeled or not)
4tablespoonsextra virgin olive oil
1mediumonionchopped coarsely
4clovesof garlicminced
1/2headof cabbagechopped into about 2″ x 1/2″ strips
1/2cupmilk of your choice(soy or cow’s milk, I used soy)
1/3cupbutter or margarine
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Heat a large pot of boiling water and set potato cubes to boil for 15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. While potatoes are boiling, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil starts to shimmer, add in onions and cook for a minute, then add in garlic. Cook until onion are soft, about 4 minutes. Add in cabbage and cook for about 5 minutes, or until wilted and soft.
Once the potatoes are soft, mash them up with milk and butter until they are fairly smooth. Add in cabbage mixture and smash a bit more – you don’t want to mash the cabbage completely, but you do want it slightly macerated. Season with salt and pepper and serve with your favorite St. Pat’s Day dish.
