Step by Step Method

Step 1

Put the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water by at least an inch. Add 2 tablespoons of salt, and bring to a boil. Boil until the potatoes are fork tender (15 to 20 minutes). Drain in a colander.

Step 2

Return the pot to the stove and set over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the pot and once it's hot, add the greens. Cook the cabbage for 3-4 minutes, or until wilted and have given off some of their water. Add the green onions and cook 1 minute more.

Step 3

Pour in the cream, mix well, and add the potatoes. Reduce the heat to medium. Use a fork or potato masher and mash the potatoes, mixing them up with the greens. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Serve hot with a knob of butter in the center.
