• Prep Time: 30 minutes
• Cook Time: 1 hour
• Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
• Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 3 potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 1 pinch salt
• 6 tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 3 cups cabbage, shredded
• 2 leeks, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 gluten-free chicken bouillon cubes
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

1. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
2. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
3. Season the potatoes with salt, and mash with 6 tablespoons of butter, sour cream, egg, and milk.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
5. Heat 1 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the cabbage, leeks, and onion until the cabbage is tender and the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
6. Crush 2 bouillon cubes into the cabbage mixture, and stir to blend and dissolve the cubes.
7. Stir the cabbage mixture into the potato mixture until thoroughly mixed, and spoon into the prepared casserole dish.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes; top with cheese, and return to oven until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes.
