Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1 medium head green cabbage
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the potatoes are boiling, remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut the cabbage in half. Remove and discard the core. Slice the cabbage into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.

Step 3

Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large skillet or wide pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and shimmering.

Step 5

Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent.

Step 6

Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet and stir well to coat with the butter and oil. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour in the 1/4 cup of water. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the cabbage steam for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly golden in some areas.

Step 8

Once the cabbage is tender, add the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Gently toss everything together, being careful not to break up the potatoes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 10

Cook uncovered for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow everything to meld together and develop light caramelization.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot as a main dish for a rustic meal or as a comforting side dish alongside meat or fish.
