🔥 Step 1: Start with the Meat
In a large pot over medium heat, cook the chopped sausage or bacon until it starts to release its fat and becomes slightly crispy. This step builds the base flavor of the entire dish.
🧅 Step 2: Add the Onion
Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t burn.

🥔 Step 3: Add Potatoes & Cabbage
Add the chopped potatoes and cabbage to the pot. Stir everything together so the vegetables are coated in the flavorful fat from the meat.
💧 Step 4: Simmer Until Tender
Pour in enough water or broth to just cover the ingredients. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and the cabbage is tender.
🍲 Step 5: Finish & Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can lightly mash some of the potatoes to thicken the broth, or leave it chunky for a rustic texture. Serve hot and enjoy.
