Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

4 large potatoes
1 1/2 tablespoons light olive oil
2 cups finely shredded white cabbage (use shredded coleslaw cabbage as a shortcut)
6 scallions, white and green parts, sliced
1 cup 1% low-fat milk or soymilk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bake or microwave the potatoes in their skins until done. When cool enough to handle, peel, and coarsely mash.

    Step 2

    Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the cabbage and sauté, covered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until limp. Add the scallions and sauté, uncovered, until the cabbage begins to turn golden. If the skillet becomes dry, add small amounts of water as needed.

    Step 3

    Add the potatoes and milk, stir everything together, and turn the heat up to medium-high. Cook without stirring until the bottom of the potato mixture gets nicely browned. Fluff with a wooden spoon, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
