1kg potatoes, well scrubbed (cut any large ones in half)  
100g butter  
140g sliced back bacon, finely chopped  
1 small Savoy cabbage, finely shredded  
150ml double cream

I peel, cook, then mash the potatoes. Heat the cream and half the butter. Cook the bacon, cabbage, and some butter. Then mix everything together! Yumm!!!
