This is an Irish way to deal with leftover corned beef. My husband considers this a wonderful part of the corned beef cycle. I use skin-on red potatoes, and depending on what's in the fridge, I substitute ham for corned beef and leeks for green onions.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds red potatoes , quartered
  • 1 head cabbage , cored and shredded
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 cups butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 4 greens onions , sliced, white parts and tops separated
  • white pepper to taste
  • 1.25 cups hot milk
  • 1 pound leftover corned beef , cut into pieces and warmed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place potatoes into a large saucepan and add water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Stir in cabbage and 2 tablespoons of butter; cover and simmer until the cabbage has softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.

  3. 3

    Melt 1/2 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and white parts of green onions. Cook until garlic has softened and mellowed, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Drain potatoes and mash with white pepper. Fold in melted butter, milk, cabbage, and corned beef. Sprinkle with green parts of green onions.
