"With a focus on her Italian immigrant roots and a deep passion for both family and food, Lidia Bastianich is always ready to share tips, tricks, and favorite family recipes that she grew up loving. In a video on her official Facebook page, she reveals her Grandma Rosa's recipe for mashed potatoes with savoy cabbage. Bastianich explains the dish is ideal for making in large quantities and reheating the leftovers. This certainly makes it food fit for a feasting family and an easy recipe you can prepare on your own at home."
"In a past Tasting Table exclusive interview, Lidia Bastianich spoke about how immigrating to America changed her relationship with food. She saw it as a means of connection with her family and a way to carry on traditions. Taking inspiration from the warmth and great flavors of Grandma Rosa's cabbage and potato recipe allows you to make the dish your own and share it with your family. Choose a batch of Yukon Gold potatoes, which are ideal for mashing, and pair these with the cabbage or vegetable of your choosing."
An Italian-immigrant family recipe pairs mashed Yukon Gold potatoes with shredded savoy cabbage for a hearty, make-ahead dish that reheats well. Potatoes are boiled until halfway cooked, then cabbage is added and cooked through before draining and sautéing with garlic, olive oil, and butter. Savoy cabbage features dark green, curly leaves and a mildly sweet, earthy flavor that complements the potatoes. The recipe adapts to seasonal vegetables such as Swiss chard or green beans. The dish suits large gatherings and emphasizes preserving family culinary traditions while using readily available ingredients.
