Its simple comfort food at its best.
Ease aside, is it just as delicious as the many potato bakes I already know?
The answer: A resounding yes.

It can also incorporate leftover mashed potatoes and greens (more on that below).
Rumbledethumps may remind you of two other fun-sounding dishes,colcannonfrom Ireland andbubble and squeakfrom England.
In developing this recipe, I looked to various trusted sources to inform traditional techniques and ingredients.
Cover tightly with foil or plastic wrap before storing in the fridge.
If you want to include rutabaga, peel, chop, and boil it with the potatoes.
Add enough cold water just to cover the potatoes, then add the salt.
Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, set a timer for 15 minutes.
At this point, the potatoes and cabbage should be soft but not mushy.
Drain well in a colander, then add them back to the pot you boiled them in.
Add the butter to the pot with the vegetables and mash roughly.
Youre not looking for a smooth mixture, you still want some chunks for texture.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
