Ingredients

  • • 1kg of potatoes (approx 2lbs)
  • • 1 savoy cabbage (250g or 0.5lb)
  • • 75g of butter (0.1lb)
  • • 100g of mature cheddar cheese (0.2lb)
  • • 2 small onions (optional)

Preparation Steps

1
Phase 1

Prepare the potatoes by peeling them and chopping them up.

2
Phase 2

Boil the potatoes for 15-20 mins until they are soft.

Phase 3

Slice the onion if you are using it and fry it until softened. Then set aside.

Slice the cabbage roughly and cook in 50g butter until it is softened. It will seem like a lot but don't worry; it wilts down in the pan and then again when you stir it with the potatoes.

Once the potatoes are ready, mash them up with the remaining butter and season them to taste.

Preheat the oven to 180C
