Makes:8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2½ pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed

Directions

Prep:20 mCook:25 mReady:45 m
  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Place potatoes into a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
  3. While pototoes are cooking, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble and set aside. Reserve drippings in the skillet.
  4. Sauté cabbage and onion in drippings in the skillet over medium heat until soft and translucent, 10 to 15 minutes; cover the skillet to decrease cooking time if desired. Remove from heat.
  5. Mash potatoes with milk in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  6. Fold in bacon, cabbage and onion.
  7. Transfer mixture to a large serving bowl. Make a well in the center of potato mixture and pour in melted butter. Serve hot.
