Made this recipe for dinner yesterday. it was great! My children loved it. I tweeked it a bit by adding a package of bacon (cooked and chopped) a la a recipe seen on the Food Network...a good addition and made it more of a meal than a side-dish! Thanks for the recipe! Will make it again, the children are insisting.

Perfect! I riced the potatoes and added them to the skillet with the cooked cabbage after sauteing the onions. My new favorite way of eating potatoes.

Jan - thanks for posting this recipe. We had it for our St. Patrick's Day dinner along with the Guinness Pork Chops in Gravy (#36831) and it was really good. This dish was also very easy to make and even my DD who "hates" cabbage loved it. This will become a regular family favorite.

A wonderful basic recipe for good, hearty comfort food! I served with sausages for an Irish twish on bangers and mash but this would be good with nearly any meal where you'd serve mashed potatoes.

Used 4 potatoes, 3 cups cabbage, at least 1/2 cup onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt with 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt. Added more salt to taste. Substituted 2 tablespoons sour cream for butter, and otherwise used 1 tablespoon butter for frying. This is one excellent substitute for regular mashed potatoes:D Has plenty of vitamin C, and is a good use of leftover potatoes, onions and cabbage (which it seems I often have sitting in the fridge). Highly recommended, good for the whole family, but if you want to intensify the taste I recommend playing around with it a bit. I can see adding more onions and garlic, maybe jalapeno too if you are into hot. BF enjoyed this too. Will be eating some leftovers for breakfast tomorrow, a guaranteed indication that it was a big hit with me. Thanks!

I thought that this was great - I was wary of the cabbage but it gave the potatoes a nice texture. I would add more salt than what is listed in the recipe - my personal preference. Enjoy!

Very simple recipe and tasted great. I can never leave a recipe alone so I did add one little extra ingredient...bacon. It was terrific.

Good, but needed more flavor. We added some garlic salt and next time will increase the onions, as they were delicious!
