CREAMY POTATOES WITH CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the oil to the pan along with the garlic and onions. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook the onions slowly, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until they are soft and tender, about 8 minutes. Add the cabbage and an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Cook until the cabbage wilts, about 2 minutes. Stir in the potatoes and enough broth to cover the mixture. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the liquid is reduced by half, the potatoes are tender and the cabbage is silky and soft, 30 to 35 minutes. Using a potato masher or a whisk, crush the mixture until it loosely resembles the consistency of mashed potatoes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup oil and serve sprinkled with chives.

HOW TO COOK CABBAGE AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Fry 5 strips of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until they're crispy. Chop the bacon into 1⁄2 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) pieces and place them in a deep skillet. Turn the burner to medium and stir the bacon occasionally as it fries. Cook the bacon until it's completely fried and crispy. The amount of time this takes depends on how thick your bacon slices are. Plan on frying the bacon for 5 to 10 minutes. Prep the cabbage and potato while the bacon is frying.
• Transfer the fried bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Once the bacon is completely crispy, carefully scoop it up with a slotted spoon. Put the pieces on the paper towel-lined plate, which will absorb the excess grease. Leave the grease in the skillet because you'll cook the cabbage and potato in it.
• Shred 1/2 a head of cabbage and chop 1 potato into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) pieces. Rinse the vegetables and place them on a cutting board. To shred the cabbage, slice it in half through the core. Cut out the white core and discard it. Then, slice across the cabbage in 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) strips. Take the potato and cut it into 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) pieces. You can peel the potato or leave the skin on for added texture.
• Add the cabbage, potato, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Place the shredded cabbage and potato pieces into the skillet with the bacon grease. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon (1.4 g) of salt and 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) of ground black pepper. If you like a little extra crunch, sauté 1/3 cup (50 g) of diced onion in the skillet for about 5 minutes before you add the cabbage and potato.
• Cover the skillet and fry the mixture over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes. Keep the burner on medium heat and put the lid on the skillet to trap the steam. Cook the cabbage until it's tender and stir the mixture every few minutes so it fries evenly. Wear oven mitts when you lift the lid off of the skillet and ensure that the steam doesn't burn you.
• Stir in the garlic and cook the uncovered mixture for 1 minute. Remove the lid and add 5 cloves of minced garlic. Stir until the garlic is incorporated and cook it just until it becomes fragrant.
• Turn off the burner and stir in the crispy bacon pieces. Sprinkle the fried bacon over the cabbage and potato mixture. Then, stir until it's combined and spoon the cabbage and potato mixture onto serving plates. Although you can store leftover cabbage and potatoes in the refrigerator, the mixture will continue to soften as it's stored. Eat the cabbage and potatoes within 3 days.

CABBAGE AND POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Rinse the cabbage under cold running water and remove the tough outer leaves. Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the hard core. Cut the cabbage quarters into halves and place, rounded side down, in a roasting pan.
• Cut the potatoes in half crosswise and peel. Cut the peeled potato halves into quarters, and arrange in the roasting pan, alternating with the cabbage pieces.
• Fry the bacon in a heavy medium skillet for 7 minutes. Add the sliced onions, salt, and black pepper to the pan and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Evenly distribute the bacon mixture and pan drippings over the vegetables, then pour the chicken stock on top. Tightly cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove the pan from the oven and allow to sit, covered, for 15 minutes before serving. Serve the vegetables with the bacon and broth spooned over them.

CABBAGE AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add quartered cabbage and potato slices. Reduce heat to medium-high and boil gently for 5 minutes.
• Drain and use tongs to transfer cabbage quarters to a colander set over a bowl or in the sink. Allow cabbage to cool in colander until you can handle the wedges. Core the wedges, then cut them in half lengthwise. Finally, slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide ribbons. Return to colander and drain for another 5 minutes. Place in a large bowl with the potatoes.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 3-quart baking dish or gratin. Cut one of the garlic cloves in half and rub the dish with the cut surface. Then slice up all the garlic and toss with cabbage and potatoes.
• In a bowl, whisk together milk, crème fraîche, about 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Pour into bowl with cabbage and potatoes, add cheeses and sage, and gently toss together. Scrape into baking dish.
• Bake 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, until top is golden brown. During the first 45 minutes, press the vegetables down into the liquid in the baking dish every 10 to 15 minutes, using the back of a large spoon. The gratin will still be bubbling when you remove it from the oven, and you will see liquid in the baking dish. Wait 10 to 15 minutes before serving, until liquid is reabsorbed. If liquid remains in dish, serve with a slotted spoon.

GERMAN CABBAGE AND POTATOES

Steps:

• NOTE: My mother cooks this with 2 cups water and mashes the potatoes and cabbage after cooking, before adding the bacon. Though this tastes good it does not look very tempting. :).
• FOR CABBAGE: Remove outer dark or dry cabbage leaves, cut cabbage into eights and cut the core away.Cut cabbage crosswise in 1/8 inch strips. Wash and drain cabbage, removing any thick "ribs".
• Wash, peel and cut potatoes in 3/4 inch dice.
• Put potatoes, salt, cumin, bay leaf and water in a large pot, cover and boil potatoes for 15 minutes until just tender.
• Add cabbage, stir thoroughly and boil over medium heat about 7 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the cabbage to have some bite and most of the liquid to have cooked off. You might need to add a little hot water if all liquid has cooked off before the cabbage is done.
• Depending on the size of your pot it might be necessary to add the cabbage in batches. Cover the pot between batches and let reduce volume before adding rest of cabbage.
• FOR BACON MIXTURE: When potatoes are almost done heat oil in a small pan over medium heat, fry bacon until pale golden, add onions and cook until bacon is crisp and onions golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and pour off most of the fat.
• TO ASSEMBLE: The cabbage should be only moist. If there is too much liquid raise heat and cook it off, stirring often. Remove from heat, add cayenne, lemon juice and most of bacon mixture. Stir to mix and adjust seasoning.
• To serve: Top cabbage with rest of bacon mixture (and parsley)as garnish.
