Ingredients

• 1 medium green cabbage, chopped into large chunks
• 5 to 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth

Equipment Needed

• Slow cooker or crockpot
• Cutting board
• Sharp knife
• Measuring cup

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

Start by washing the cabbage thoroughly under cold water. Remove any damaged outer leaves and cut the cabbage into large bite-sized pieces.

Next, peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes. Uniform pieces help ensure that the potatoes cook evenly throughout the slow-cooking process.

Slice the onion into thin strips or half-moons. The onion will slowly melt into the dish, adding sweetness and depth of flavor.

Step 2: Layer the Ingredients

Place the cubed potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Since potatoes take longer to cook than cabbage, positioning them closest to the heat helps them become perfectly tender.

Add the sliced onions over the potatoes.

Top everything with the chopped cabbage, spreading it evenly throughout the slow cooker. At first, the crockpot may seem very full, but the cabbage will shrink considerably as it cooks.

Step 3: Add the Broth

Pour the chicken broth or vegetable broth evenly over the vegetables.

The broth provides moisture for slow cooking and helps infuse the cabbage and potatoes with savory flavor. As the vegetables cook, they release their own juices, creating a delicious cooking liquid.

Step 4: Cook Slowly

Cover the crockpot with its lid.

Cook on:

• Low: 6 to 8 hours
• High: 3 to 4 hours

Avoid lifting the lid frequently during cooking, as this releases heat and can increase cooking time.

As the vegetables slowly cook, the potatoes become fork-tender and the cabbage softens while retaining a pleasant texture.
