Step 1

Boil the potatoes with the garlic for 15 - 20 minutes until cooked through.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, melt 100g of the butter in a small frying pan and saute the cabbage and spring onions for 3 - 4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and mash (leave the garlic in).

Step 4

Add the cabbage and spring onions (including the butter they were cooked in) to the potatoes.

Step 5

Meanwhile warm the remaining butter and cream until the butter is melted (I do this in the pan I fried the cabbage in). Add to the potato and cabbage mixture.

Step 6

Add the chives and plenty of salt and pepper and stir until throughly combined. Serve immediately with extra butter and chives to garnish.
