Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups cooked potatoes, cubed
  • 2 cups cooked cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
  2. Add the thinly sliced onion to the skillet and cook until softened and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and cook until they start to brown and crisp up, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Stir in the shredded cabbage, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is heated through.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced green onions and reserved crispy bacon. Serve hot and enjoy!
