Recipe(tried): Colcannon (Potato and Cabbage Casserole)

This an Irish recipe called colcannon - potato and cabbage casserole. It sure is good!

1 pound potatoes, unpeeled (all-purpose potatoes like russets are fine)
Boil in lightly salted water until tender but not mushy; drain them, reserving the water, and set aside to cool a bit

1 pound shredded green cabbage
1 chopped onion (about a cup)

Add these to the leftover potato water (add more water if needed) and boil for about five minutes. Drain and set aside.

Peel the potatoes, and mash with 1/4 cup milk and 1 Tbsp butter. Add the cabbage and onion.

Stir in about 3 ounces grated Cheddar cheese, then season the colcannon with salt and pepper. You can eat it now but it's even better if you put it in a greased casserole dish, top with more grated cheese, and let it brown a bit in a hot oven (doesn't really matter, somewhere between 350 and 425 is fine). You can get it ready early and then pop it in the oven at dinner time until it's nice and hot and the cheese topping is lightly browned - it's a pretty dish to serve and very tasty.
