# Guide to Cooking:

04 - Take your soft potatoes and mash them up with what's left of your butter. Add salt and pepper as you like.
05 - Get your oven going at 180°C.
06 - Stir the wilted cabbage and cooked onions into your potato mash.
07 - Scoop all that potato-cabbage mix into a dish that can go in the oven.
08 - Sprinkle shredded cheddar on top and pop it in the oven for 15-20 mins, till the cheese melts and turns golden.
09 - Enjoy it hot alongside your main dish.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Make sure to spread the cheese all over for a nice golden top.
02 - Folks usually have this on the side, but you can make it a full meal with some greens or meat next to it.
