Description

Cabbage and Potato Skillet is a simple, hearty, and budget-friendly dish featuring tender potatoes sautéed with flavorful cabbage, onions, and garlic. This comforting and filling recipe is perfect as a side dish or a light vegetarian main, offering a delightful combination of textures and mild spices that bring out the best in everyday ingredients.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ small head green cabbage, chopped
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced


Instructions

  1. Heat the oil or butter: Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat, creating the perfect base for sautéing your vegetables.
  2. Cook the potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, seasoning them with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon paprika. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are mostly tender and lightly browned.
  3. Sauté the onions: Add the sliced onion and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until they become softened and translucent.
  4. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, allowing the garlic’s aroma to infuse the dish.
  5. Incorporate the cabbage: Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, stirring to combine all ingredients evenly.
  6. Cook covered: Cover the skillet and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the cabbage become tender and slightly caramelized, melding the flavors beautifully.
  7. Adjust and serve: Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve the skillet hot as a satisfying side or light main dish.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes evenly to ensure even cooking.
  • Add smoked sausage or bacon for a non-vegetarian version.
  • A splash of broth can help steam the cabbage if the skillet gets dry.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
