Delicious, hearty and perfect for St. Patrick's Day.

Ingredients:

3 russet potatoes, peeled and chunked
3 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chunked
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, more for serving
1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 head cabbage, chopped
6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
Kosher salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. Place russet and Yukon Gold potatoes in a large saucepan and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and drain water.
  2. Pour heavy cream over the potatoes and add 4 tablespoons butter. Place a lid on the saucepan and let the butter melt. Set aside.
