Rumblethumps

Post by NorthernWoody »

Rumblethumps

600g/1lb 5oz large potatoes, peeled and chopped into large chunks
400g/14oz swede, peeled and chopped into large chunks
75g/2¾oz unsalted butter
250g/9oz savoy cabbage or kale, finely sliced
salt and freshly ground black pepper
25g/1oz cheddar cheese, grated

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Cook the potatoes and swede in a saucepan of salted boiling water until tender.
Drain well and return to the pan.
Heat 50g/2oz butter in a pan and gently cook the cabbage for a few minutes, until the cabbage is tender but retains its colour.
Add the cabbage to the pan with the potatoes and swede.
Add the remaining 25g/1oz butter and mash together using a potato masher. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the mashed vegetables into an ovenproof lidded dish and top with the cheese.
Cover with a lid and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, then remove the lid and continue to cook for a further 15 minutes, or until piping hot and golden-brown on top.

Add bacon for extra yumminess!

As far as I know this is the Scottish name.. Rumbledethumps.. or Kailkenny in Aberdeen you use cream instead of traditional butter... Irish is something like coldcannon and English is Bubble and Squeek. I love it.. very tasty but hard to see me making this in SHTF..

Simplest (least ingredients and faffing) recipe I know is tinned potato mashed add saute'd onion and cabbage.. then bake with a topping whether just butter or cheese etc... plenty of variations but its the most likely for SHTF...

Also simply crushing cooked potato then frying is a good alternative to mash.. :D
