Follow The Directions

01

Step

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; transfer to a large bowl.

02

Step

Stir milk, butter, and mayonnaise into potatoes; mash with a potato masher until smooth.

03

Step

Cook and stir bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until fat is rendered, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in onion, garlic, and cayenne pepper; cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

04

Step

Stir cabbage and water into bacon-onion mixture until cabbage is wilted, about 5 minutes; season with salt and black pepper.

05

Step

Fold into mashed potatoes.

06

Step

Cook and stir ham pieces in the same skillet until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes; stir into mashed potato-cabbage mixture until combined.

For an extra layer of flavor, try using smoked bacon.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese on top.
If you don't have ham, leftover roasted chicken or turkey works well too.
