Traditional Rumbledethumps Recipe

Step 1

Prepare the potatoes by peeling them and chopping them up.

Step 2

Boil the potatoes for 15-20 mins until they are soft.

Step 3

Slice the onion if you are using it and fry it until softened. Then set aside.

Step 4

Slice the cabbage roughly and cook in 50g butter until it is softened. It will seem like a lot but don't worry; it wilts down in the pan and then again when you stir it with the potatoes.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are ready, mash them up with the remaining butter and season them to taste.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 180C

Step 7

Mix the cooked cabbage and the onion through the mashed potatoes.

Step 8

Put the potato and cabbage mixture into an ovenproof dish.

Step 9

Top with grated cheese and then bake for 15-20 mins or until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.

Step 10

Serve with your chosen main meal.
