Ingredients
  

4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

1 small head of green cabbage, shredded

1 onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup shredded Irish cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon mustard powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and cook until it wilts, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and mustard powder. Remove from the heat.

        In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and half of the shredded Irish cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed.

          In a greased casserole dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

            Spread the sautéed cabbage and onion mixture evenly over the potatoes.

              Pour half of the cream and cheese mixture over the cabbage layer, followed by the remaining potato slices. Season the last layer of potatoes again with salt and pepper.

                Finish by pouring the remainder of the cream mixture over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese.

                  Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

                    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped chives for a fresh touch.
