You're right you don't realize there is cabbage in this dish, that's awesome. And, it tasted really good too. I steamed my cabbage but I still found it added quite abit of moisture to the potatoes. You may want to drain your cabbage on paper towel. I didn't have french herb seasoning so made from scratch using recipe #279119. To cut some fat I reduced the cream cheese 1 oz & cheddar cheese 2 oz. My hubby loves mashed potatoes and thoroughly enjoyed this version. Thanks for sharing.

Smashing success with dinner guests. Most of them didn't even realize there was cabbage in it. Great dish to prepare ahead of time and pop in oven to warm thru.
