In the spirit of St. Patrick's day, here is a traditional recipe that I've always had alongside my corned beef. It's also a great substitute for mashed potatoes. —Kmack

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 Head of Cabbage - Shredded
  • 5-6 Boiled Potatoes - Mashed
  • .5 pounds Bacon
  • .5 cups Heavy Cream
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper to taste

  3. Mix the mashed potatoes into the cabbage. Add the heavy cream and butter, stirring to combine.
  4. Crumble and fold the bacon into the mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

This was excellent!, thank you! I can't stand cabbage but I got a beautiful one in my CSA. I figured, use enough potato, bacon, butter and milk, and I can eat anything!
