Grew up eating this, as we're from Northern Ireland. Kind of a go-to...comfort food meal. My husband and son love it as well!! Can't go wrong! We did not put cottage roll in the oven though... I boil ours it in the net it comes in with the actual cabbage in a huge stock pot. Then carve it down.

Not being from Ireland, I have no idea what is a cottage roll. Can you enlighten me?

I grow up eating this. We did not put it in the oven but we added the cabbage and the potatoes directly to the pot 1/2 hr before end of cooking time. Cook until the potatoes are done. This may take longer than 1/2, depending on how large your chunks of potato are. This gives the potatoes a yummy, salty ham flavor. No need for butter but always a welcome addition on the plate. Serve with brown mustard on the side. Now we are talking 5 stars!
