Made this last night and it was surprisingly good. Fairly cheap and
simple, too. 

			COLCANNON

1 lb potatoes (about 4 medium)
1 lb cabbage, shredded or chopped fine
1 lg onion, minced
1/4 c milk
2 Tablespoons butter
4 oz cheddar, shredded
salt and pepper

Boil potatoes in skins till soft. Set aside till cool. Boil cabbage and
onion in potato water (may have to add more water) for 5 minutes and
drain. Remove and discard skins of potatoes. Mash potatoes with the
butter and milk. Mix the cabbage and onion, and 2/3 of the cheese with
the mashed potatoes. Season with s&p. Spread in a buttered casserole
and top with remaining cheese. Bake in 350 F oven for 25 minutes.
Enjoy. Good with a tomato salad.
