Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat in a small pot. Add 1 cup of whole milk and 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream, stirring continuously until warmed through—about 5 minutes.

- Cook 6 slices of sliced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove bacon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan.

- Add 1 sliced leek to the skillet using the bacon fat. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant, scraping any brown bits from the bottom.

- Add 4 cups of chopped savoy cabbage and a pinch of salt to the skillet with leeks. Cook, stirring frequently for about 6-7 minutes until wilted and soft.

- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Slice 2 pounds of Russet and Yukon Gold potatoes and add them. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until fork-tender, then drain well.

- Quickly add chopped green onions to the warm milk mixture in the pot and let it infuse for 1-2 minutes. Pour this mixture over the drained potatoes for mashing.

- Mash the drained potatoes until smooth with no lumps. The warmth will help combine all ingredients seamlessly.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with sautéed cabbage and leeks, crispy bacon, and season with salt and white pepper. Fold in the warm milk mixture until incorporated.

Notes
Ensure the milk mixture stays warm to maintain a creamy texture. A food mill is ideal for smooth potatoes, or use a hand masher. Feel free to experiment with ingredient substitutions based on dietary needs.
