Ingredients

  • 4 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
  • Kosher or fine sea salt
  • 1 cup milk or rice milk
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter or dairy-free butter divided use
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 medium green onions trimmed and sliced
  • 1 medium green cabbage tough outer leaves discarded, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Boil until fork tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to the hot pot. Return to the stove and cook until all of the liquid has evaporated. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher (you want them to remaining a little chunky, not completely smooth). Add the milk, 3 tablespoons butter, and salt and pepper to taste. Mash to combine. Stir in the green onions.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, put the cabbage in a saucepan. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender and the cabbage turns slightly darker, 3-5 minutes. Drain the water from the pan. Add 3 tablespoons butter, cover the pan, and let sit off the heat until the potatoes are cooked and mashed.
  • Add the cabbage to the potatoes and stir. Place in a serving bowl and make a well in the center. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and pour into the well. Sprinkle the chives on top and serve.
