With additions, this recipe would is a 5 star treat, although it has more fat than Jane Brody's recipe. I used more butter and milk, and added about 1/2 cup of sour cream. Also added a chopped scallion (green onion including the green top,) a little more salt, lots of pepper, and a dash of sugar. As the cabbage and onion were cooking, I was concerned about adding the cabbage (it smelled funny) to one of my favorite dishes, mashed potatoes. But the end result was yummy!
