Nutritional values

This traditional Irish mashed potatoes dish contains cabbage, which is packed with fiber and great for digestion. This yummy dish is high in calories though, so watch your portions. 

This dish goes great as a side next to a hearty meat dish like our Pot Roast and Red Wine Sauce.
