Rumbledethumps

This is a Scottish version of mashed potato. It's also a great way to get kids to eat cabbage! I'm all about stealth nutrition.

Potatoes may have many varieties but they all come into two main categories: floury, which are great for baking, mashing and roasting and waxy, which are perfect for staying whole, boiling, and salads. For this recipe, we need the floury type. Measurements are inexact.
