Fried Potatoes and Cabbage

This classic combination of pan-fried potatoes and Savoy cabbage is the ultimate comfort food. By lightly mashing the potatoes into the buttery cabbage and allowing them to crisp up in a frying pan, you create a dish with a wonderful contrast of textures—soft and fluffy on the inside with a golden, savoury crust on the bottom. It is a simple yet deeply satisfying way to make the most of seasonal greens and humble root vegetables.

As a versatile vegetarian main or a hearty side dish, this recipe is perfect for a quick midweek supper. The earthy flavour of the Savoy cabbage pairs beautifully with the rich, buttery potatoes, making it a nutritious and filling addition to any meal. Serve it alongside poached eggs or as a rustic accompaniment to a Sunday roast for a truly homemade feel.

Ingredients for Fried Potatoes and Cabbage

  • 450g russet (baking) potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

  • 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons ) unsalted butter

  • 450g Savoy cabbage, cored and thinly sliced

How to make Fried Potatoes and Cabbage

Cover potatoes with cold salted water by 1 inch and bring to a boil, then boil, uncovered, until tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 18 minutes. Drain in a colander.

Heat butter in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté cabbage with salt and pepper, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes.

Add potatoes, mashing and stirring them into cabbage while leaving some lumps and pressing to form a cake. Cook, without stirring, until underside is crusty and golden, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
