Boil potatoes in salted cold water for 15-20 minutes until tender.

In a pan, melt a knob of butter and add chopped smoked back bacon, cooking until crispy.

Remove bacon and set aside, using the same pan to cook chopped cabbage or kale for about 10 minutes until softened.

Add another knob of butter if needed, then add finely sliced green onions to the pan with salt and pepper, cooking until caramelized.

Drain the boiled potatoes and add another knob of butter, along with cream and optionally milk for a looser consistency.

Lightly mash the potatoes, then stir in the cooked onions, cabbage or kale, and bacon until evenly mixed.
