Irish Potatoes

By Sam Pierce

Ingredients (~8 servings)

  • 4 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled and halved
  • 3 3/4 cups cabbage, coarsely chopped
  • 9 garlic cloves, whole
  • 3 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 3/4 cup cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions for garnish (optional)

Place Potatoes, Cabbage & Garlic into Boiling Water

To cook, place potatoes, cabbage, and garlic into a large pot filled with water, along with chicken bouillon cubes, on the stovetop.

Cooking until potatoes are fork-tender is approximately 20-25 minutes.

After about 20-25 minutes, the garlic should be soft and the cabbage should have lost its crispiness while still feeling crunchy.

Combine All the Ingredients Into One Mixture

Once the mixture has finished boiling, drain all of the liquid from it.

Add cream cheese, milk, butter, sour cream, and several scoops of salt and pepper to the drained mixture.

Combine all ingredients, allowing the garlic to be mashed and spread throughout the entire pot mixture.

The final mixture should be creamy with some substance remaining from the diced cabbage.

Bake the Potatoes Until They Are Golden Brown

Set your oven to preheat at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pour the mixture into a greased 3-quart casserole dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.

Let the dish cook for approximately 45 minutes.

Remove the foil 10 minutes before baking finishes so the potato mixture can brown on top and firm up.

If desired, top with chopped green onion before serving.

Irish Potatoes

This is comfort food at its best – creamy mashed potatoes loaded with tender cabbage and garlic, then baked until golden on top. Perfect alongside corned beef or really any hearty meal.
