Mama's Stuffed Cabbage Over Mashed Potatoes

My mom being 100% Polish made some amazing dishes passed down to her. Some were considered peasant dishes but they are just fresh ingredients that were used when in season and plentiful. Sometimes simple is best. Here is her rendition. This is made for 4 people. For more, simply double or triple recipe. Now your wondering where is the rice. In mom's recipe there wasn't any since it was always served over mashed potatoes. Old customs had ingredients fresh from the garden. Grandma, mom did make their own strained tomato sauce. Sorry mom but I cheated here😉
