Peasant Style Potatoes Cabbage Recipes

KIELBASA Y KAPUSTA (KIELBASA AND CABBAGE)

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into quarters.
• Cut kielbasa into 3-inch lengths.
• Cut cabbage into wedges, discarding the outer leaves and core.
• Throw everything into medium-to-large stewpot, with the cabbage on top; add just enough water so that it comes about one to two inches short of covering cabbage (cabbage will"cook down").
• Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and cook for about 20 minutes or until cabbage is tender and potatoes can be split easily with a fork.
• Drain and serve in one big bowl or straight out of the pot, peasant style!

PEASANT-STYLE POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and thinly slice the potatoes; if you have a mandoline, use it, but on its thickest setting-you want slices about 1/8 inch thick.
• Put the oil in an 8- or 10-inch nonstick skillet and turn the heat to medium; 3 or 4 minutes later, drop in a slice of potato. When tiny bubbles appear around the edges of the potato, the oil is ready; add all of the potatoes along with a fair amount of salt and pepper.
• Gently turn the potatoes occasionally, keeping the heat at medium until, 15 to 20 minutes later, they are tender. At that point, turn the heat up so the potatoes brown a bit. Add the garlic, if you're using it, during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then garnish and serve hot.
