Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon chopped
- 1/2 head small cabbage sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 1/2 onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- pinch cayenne pepper or to taste
- 5 russet potatoes washed, peeled, cut into one-inch cubes
- 4 ounces butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream more/less to desired consistency
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut into one-inch cubes. Place in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, add salt and pepper to taste, cook until tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes. Add the butter and heavy cream. Check for seasoning and adjust as necessary. Mash until you reach the desired consistency. I prefer to leave a few chunks of potatoes for texture.
- Meanwhile, slice the cabbage and onions, and chop the bacon.
- Heat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and fry until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp.
- Add the cabbage, onions, garlic, and cayenne pepper to the saute pan. Cook until the cabbage is tender.
- Combine the cabbage mixture with the mashed potatoes. Serve warm and enjoy!
