Cabbage & Potatoes with Bacon

Chef Jenn
I love how hearty and flavorful Cabbage & Potatoes with Bacon is! This simple skillet dish combines crispy bacon, tender potatoes, and sautéed cabbage for a rich, savory meal that’s perfect as a side or a comforting main course. Ideal for weeknights, holidays, or anytime you crave classic comfort food.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bacon chopped
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups green cabbage chopped
  • 1 pound yellow potatoes diced
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth low or no sodium-added
  • ½ teaspoon salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • parsley chopped, for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
  • Add the diced onion to the pan and cook for about 6 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the cabbage and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.
  • Mix in the potatoes, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
  • Cover partially and simmer over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender and most of the liquid has reduced.
  • Stir in the apple cider vinegar, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Sprinkle the crispy bacon over the top and garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Cut the potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
  • If there's excess bacon grease, drain some off, but leave enough to coat the vegetables for extra flavor.
  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamy texture or Russets for a fluffier bite.
  • The apple cider vinegar balances the richness of the bacon and broth but you can use any kind of vinegar or even a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Add red pepper flakes when cooking the onions for a bit of heat.
