Instructions

  1. Drain the potatoes and dry them over the stove. Set aside.
  2. Pour boiling water over spring onions in a small bowl to soften them (I used a quarter cup of boiling water). Drain and heat them gently witht he milk for 5-6 minutes.
  3. Mash the potatoes and add the milk mixture.
  4. Melt the butter or margerine in a pan and toss the shredded cabbage in it. Fold into the potato. Season generously.
  5. You can either serve it as is (like I did), or fry it in butter, oil or dripping like a thick pancake until the outside is crusty, crisp and brown.
