Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet preferably cast iron
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 medium potatoes thinly sliced
  • 1/2 head of cabbage chopped
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash and slice the potatoes into thin rounds. Chop the cabbage and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add the potato slices in a single layer and cook until golden brown and crispy on one side, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook the other side.

Serving

  • Add the onion and garlic to the skillet, stirring frequently until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir to combine, cover the skillet, and let cook until the cabbage is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine all ingredients. Serve hot and enjoy.

Storage

  • Allow leftover skillet to cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of water if necessary.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use a cast iron skillet for the best crispy texture. Allow potatoes to cook undisturbed to form a crust.
Ingredient Substitutions: Sweet potatoes can be used for a sweeter flavor. Add smoked paprika for a smoky taste.
How to Serve: Serve hot as a main dish or alongside a protein of your choice.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prep ingredients ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking.
