Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 lbs)
  • 6-8 slices bacon (about 1/2 lb)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 medium head cabbage
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Method

Preparation

  • Place the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Pierce each potato a few times with a sharp knife. Microwave on high for 8 minutes (or 5 minutes for smaller potatoes). Set aside to cool a bit.
  • Cut the bacon into 1/2-inch pieces. Cook the bacon in a Dutch oven or large pot until very crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  • Add the chopped onions to the bacon drippings and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Chop the cabbage into large pieces (about 2 inches) and remove the core. Add the cabbage, salt, and pepper to the sautéed onions and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Peel the cooked potatoes and dice them into 1-inch pieces. Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, and cooked bacon to the cabbage mixture. Gently stir to combine.
  • Cover the pot and cook for 10-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.

Notes

Serve as a main dish or side. Pairs well with cornbread or a simple green salad. For added crunch, sprinkle extra crispy bacon on top when serving. To store leftovers, let cool completely, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth if needed.
