Ingredients
- 3 lbs potatoes, washed and peeled shopping list
- 1 small head cabbage, washed and finely chopped shopping list
- 2 sticks butter (use the real thing, not margarine) shopping list
- 1 1/2 C. cream or milk shopping list
- 1/2 lb. bacon, cooked and diced shopping list
- 4 leeks, chopped shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Steam the potatoes until they are soft, and then drain and rinse. Place them back in the pot and mash thoroughly, so you remove all the lumpy bits.
- Gradually add one stick butter, in small pieces, stirring into the potatoes so that it melts.
- Add the milk in and mix.
- While you're working with the potatoes, boil the cabbage.
- Some people like to use the potato water, and that's fine.
- Once it's soft, about 8 minutes, drain and add into the potatoes.
- Add the second stick of butter -- again, put it in using small pieces so that it melts and coats all the cabbage.
- Add bacon and leeks.
- Simmer for about half and hour, and then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with hearty bread.
