| 1. Insert the thyme sprigs in a cheesecloth bag. | 2. Combine milk, garlic and thyme in a pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently until garlic is soft. 8 to 10 minutes Throw away Thyme. | 3. Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to pan and stir in the scallions. Set aside, covered. | 4. Large pot, bring I inch salted water to boil. ADD Cabbage, cover and cook until tender. 8 to 10 minutes; drain well (sometimes I steam the cabbage). | 5. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium and cook, until tender. | 6. Drain potatoes, and return to pan. Mash with a potato masher, Or any instrument you have. hands, egg beater--fists--whatever, best if using a masher though. | 7. Gradually add sour cream, and mash until smooth. Watch the consistency, You do not want a mixture that looks like soup. So add slowly. | 8. Stir in cabbage and season with the salt and pepper. | 9. Add the grated cheese lastly. | 10. Meat lovers may add crisp bacon when mixing. I have put Italian sausage(fried and cut up into very small pieces) into this dish. Any type of sausage is good--even Brats. | 11. May garnish with Italian parsley. | 12. THIS REALLY IS TO DIE FOR. | 13. I usually put in a bowl, and find a pan, where the bowl sits on top, covered. Add a bit of water to pan under low heat and it keeps the potatoes hot until serving time. Must stir occasionally. This also helps to melt the cheese. | 14. This trick may be done with other foods. | 15. NOTE: | 16. Boniato potatoes are found in an Asian Market. They are a mix between Yukon Gold and a Sweet Potato. They are just simply to delicious. So I rarely buy another potato since these are the best. | 17. The Boniato peels like a regular potato. Just has a harder Brown skin. YOU MUST TAKE OUT THE THIN VEIN THAT RUNS DOWN THE CENTER:: | 18. Quarter them lengthwise and take out the very thin vein that runs down the center. It is a bit bitter. Then chop as a regular potato. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
