Description
A cozy, one-pan comfort dinner featuring golden Yukon Gold potatoes, sweet cabbage, and crispy bacon, finished with a splash of apple cider vinegar for brightness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (about 4 medium), scrubbed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium head green cabbage (about 1.5 lbs), core removed, sliced thinly
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon (about 7 oz), chopped
- 1 large sweet yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- Scallions or chives, sliced (optional garnish)
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional garnish)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Scrub potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Slice cabbage thinly. Chop bacon into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop onion and mince garlic.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped bacon and cook until browned and crispy, about 7–8 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels. Leave about 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the pan.
- Add onion to the hot pan with bacon fat. Sauté for 2 minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant.
- Add cubed potatoes to the pan. Raise heat to medium-high. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes start to brown and crisp at the edges—about 8–10 minutes. If potatoes stick, add 1 tablespoon butter and scrape gently.
- Toss in sliced cabbage and smoked paprika (if using). Stir well. Pour in broth and cover the pan loosely. Cook for 6–7 minutes, stirring once or twice, until cabbage softens and melds with potatoes.
- Uncover the pan and increase heat to high for 2–3 minutes to crisp up the bottom layer of potatoes. Sprinkle reserved bacon over the top and add remaining tablespoon of butter. Drizzle in apple cider vinegar, toss everything together, and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt or pepper as needed.
- Spoon into bowls or onto a serving platter. Top with scallions, parsley, or cheddar cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
