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
- 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.
- 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.
- Sauté the onions: Add the sliced onion and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until they become softened and translucent.
- Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, allowing the garlic’s aroma to infuse the dish.
- Incorporate the cabbage: Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, stirring to combine all ingredients evenly.
- 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.
- 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.
