Ingredients
- 800 g potatoes
- 200 g white cabbage
- Salt to taste
- 2 onions
- 150 g breakfast bacon
- 50 g goose fat or lard as substitute
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes, place them in a pot, cover with water and cook for about 20 minutes until tender.
- Clean the white cabbage, quarter it, remove the core, and chop coarsely. Cook in lightly salted water for about 10 minutes. Drain well.
- Drain and peel the potatoes, let them cool slightly, and slice. Dice the onions finely. Cut the bacon into strips.
- Heat goose fat in a large skillet, fry the bacon until crispy. Add potato slices, season lightly with salt, and fry for 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Turn potatoes carefully, let them brown on the other side. Add onions and cabbage, fry together for another 5 minutes. Season with pepper and finish with parsley before serving.
Notes
Oma’s Secret Tips
- Oma sometimes added carrot slices to the potatoes while frying.
- Generous seasoning with parsley or chervil enhances the flavour.
- For a full meal, crack one egg per person over the skillet and let it set with the lid on.
