Here is a variation on this with added onions, smoked salmon and cream, to make it extra special.* ## Ingredients - 8 ounces (250g) cooked cabbage 1 pound (500g) cooked and mashed potatoes 1 small onion, finely chopped 6 ounces (185g) sliced smoked salmon 3 ounces (90g or ¾ stick) butter 3 fluid ounces (90ml or 6 tablespoons or half cup) soured cream Salt and pepper to taste ## Method --- Preheat the oven to 375F (190C or Gas Mark 5) and grease a large baking tray. Fry the finely chopped onion in butter in a pan until soft and golden (but not burnt). Remove from the heat, add the cooked cabbage and mashed potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste and mash/mix well. Shape into rounds about ¾ inch thick and to a size which suits you. Place the rounds on the greased baking tray and cook for 10/15 minutes (depending on size). Allow to cool a little and place a folded slice of smoked salmon on each round with a teaspoonful of soured cream on top. ## Source From Rampant Scotland, restored from the page as it stood on 9 August 2025.
