Ingredients

  • 600 g floury potatoes
  • 400 g savoy cabbage (you can also use kale)
  • 60 g butter
  • 4 spring onions
  • 6 tbsp warm milk
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Cut the potatoes into quarters and boil for about 30 minutes.

Drain, mash with a fork and leave to steam dry.

Wash, trim and shred the cabbage. Cook for about 10 minutes in boiling, salted water and lift out with a slotted spoon. Drain well. Melt half of the butter in a large pan, add the cabbage and spring onions and sweat, stirring, until translucent.

Mix the cabbage and onions with the mashed potato and add enough warm milk to produce a creamy consistency.

Season with salt and pepper and serve in bowls, adding a knob of butter to each portion.
