Recipe Instructions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Stir milk, butter, and mayonnaise into potatoes; mash with a potato masher until smooth.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Stir cabbage and water into bacon-onion mixture until cabbage is wilted, about 5 minutes; season with salt and black pepper. Fold into mashed potatoes.
Step 5
Cook and stir ham pieces in the same skillet until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes; stir into mashed potato-cabbage mixture until combined.
