Ingredients

  • 450 g potatoes (floury Maris Piper or Golden Wonders are best; leave skin on if you want)
  • 150 ml single cream
  • Mace
  • Ground paprika
  • 450 g white or savoy shredded cabbage
  • 2 small leeks or 1 bunch of spring onion tops, chopped
  • 125 g unsalted butter
  • 200 g mature Gouda cheese , grated
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Directions

1

Boil or steam the potatoes until soft, then shake the drained spuds in a deep pot with the lid on, until they crumble.

2

Mash the crumbled potatoes up with a fork and season with the salt, pepper, and mace/paprika, before stirring in the cream.

3

Add 100 g of the butter in pieces and put the lid back on, leaving the butter to melt, then stir. Transfer the mix to a clean bowl.

4

Blanch the cabbage in boiling water for 2 minutes and drain.

5

Fry the leeks in the remaining butter for a few minutes, then add the cabbage and toss around for a few more minutes.

6

Spoon the cabbage into the bowl and mix with the mashed potatoes.

7

Stir the gouda into the mix, leaving a little to coat the top. Put the bowl in an oven on 2/3 heat for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
