Ingredients
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 head cabbage, chopped

¼ cup butter, softened
½ cup half-and-half cream

Directions
Place potatoes, cabbage, and green onions into a large saucepan; fill with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Drain vegetables and place them into a large bowl. Mash potatoes and vegetables with butter using a fork until mixture is chunky, pouring in half-and-half gradually as you mash. Season with salt and pepper.
