This hearty dish, headlined by (you guessed it!) potatoes, will bring a helping of scrumptious tradition to your shamrock shindig. And it's easy to make.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds red potatoes, cut into large chunks
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons Kerrygold Salted Butter, plus additional melted butter if desired
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 6 cups finely shredded green cabbage (or one 10-ounce package)
- 1 cup (about 4 ounces) shredded Kerrygold Dubliner Cheese or Blarney Castle Cheese
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:
- Cook potatoes in boiling water about 20 minutes or until very tender; drain well and mash with skins on, adding milk and salt.
- While potatoes are cooking, melt butter in a large skillet.
- Add onion; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very soft.
- Add cabbage; cook and stir for 5 minutes more or until very soft.
- Stir cabbage mixture and Kerrygold cheese into hot potatoes and season with pepper.
- Mound onto serving plates and make a well in the center of each. Pour a little melted butter into each well, if desired.
