Delicious, hearty and perfect for St. Patrick's Day.

Ingredients:

3 russet potatoes, peeled and chunked
3 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chunked
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, more for serving
1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 head cabbage, chopped
6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
Kosher salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:
