Add the shredded cabbage to the pan with melted butter and sauté until softened.

Season the cabbage with salt and black pepper while cooking.

Microwave Bob Evans mashed potatoes for 5 minutes as the cabbage cooks.

Once the cabbage has wilted down to about one third of its original size, fold the sautéed cabbage into the microwaved mashed potatoes.
