Along these lines, I was in Whole Foods today and they were
giving out samples of Colcannon. This is mashed potatoes with
finely chopped cooked cabbage, an Irish dish. I'd never wanted
to try it but it was surprisingly good, Here's a recipe from a
Scottish source:

It's a bit sweeter and more fluid than mashed potatoes. If you
don't want to use butter or margarine, Butter Flavor: Molly
Butter and the like, work too and the ratio of cabbage to potato
(1:1) can be reduced. Don't cook the cabbage for more than 6
minutes. I suspect the cabbage was cooked to death in the
original Irish recipe :-) It can be made in a food processor.
