Peel and dice the potatoes and place them in a pot of salted water to boil.

While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the cabbage by removing the stalk and slicing it.

Boil the cabbage in a separate pot for about 5-6 minutes.

Trim and chop the green onions into large pieces.

In a pan, combine milk and butter, then add the chopped green onions to soften them.

Once the potatoes are fork tender, drain them and return them to the pot to dry out.

Mash the potatoes with a masher, leaving some texture.

Add butter, boiled cabbage, and the onion-milk mixture to the mashed potatoes and mix well.

In a skillet, cook pieces of ham until they are slightly browned.

Prepare soft-boiled eggs by boiling them in water with a splash of vinegar for 5 minutes, then cool them in cold water.

Peel the soft-boiled eggs gently.

Combine the ham with the mashed potato mixture and serve with the soft-boiled eggs on top.
