Ingredients

Two ½ pounds, potatoes

1 pound, Swede (neeps)

4 ounces, butter

1-pound cabbage, we prefer to use a Savoy cabbage

6 ounces grated cheddar cheese, or for a treat stilton

Directions

Peel and chop the potatoes and Swede and boil them together in a large pan of salted water for about 25 to 30 minutes or until tender. Preheat your oven to 170c /Gas 3, drain the veg and return to the pan, cover tightly and shake over a low heat to dry them off thoroughly.

Heat half the butter in another pan then add the cabbage and cook until just tender, it must still be bright green about 3 to 5 minutes. Put all the nice buttery cabbage into the pan with the potatoes and swede and add the rest of the butter. Roughly, mash them all together and season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground white pepper.

Put it all into a nice ovenproof dish top with the cheese and bake for 30 minutes.

We always put the Rumbledethumps under a hot grill for about 5 minutes before serving to get a nice brown top to them.

Thakns for all your nice comments. In Scotland a Neep means Turnip though not the usual white turnips they mean what we in England call a Swede which in the USA is a Rutabaga, I will include the American usage in all my other recipes.

Very good! A great change from the usual mashed potatoes. I've done similar recipes with some orphaned veggies I needed to use up like carrots and parsnips. And cheese on top makes the world a better place :-)
