Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups cabbage, chopped
- 2 cups potatoes, diced
- 4 strips of bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside for later.
- In the rendered bacon fat, add the butter and sliced onions. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, cooking until they are golden brown and tender, about 10 minutes. Don’t forget to stir them occasionally!
- Stir in the chopped cabbage and the previously cooked bacon. Cook until the cabbage is wilted and tender, about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld beautifully.
- Give it a taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Serve warm as a delightful side or a satisfying main dish. Enjoy every nostalgic bite!
Notes
For extra flavor, add minced garlic; to make it vegetarian, omit bacon and use olive oil.
