When I was growing up one of my favorite meals was Ham, Cabbage & Potatoes. I always thought that any meal that good had to be hard to make but when my mom taught me how to make it I couldn’t believe how easy it was. My inspiration this week was the GIANT head of cabbage I purchased last week at a local farm.
Ingredients:
Ham {bone in is best-NOT flavored} Size determined by your preference
Potatoes-as many or as few as you would like
Cabbage-1 head
Cube the ham into 1 to 1 1/2 inch cubes and place on bottom of a large pot
Cube the cabbage {1 1/2 to 2 inch cubes} layer on top of ham
Peel and cube potatoes and layer on top of the cabbage
Cover all with water about 1 inch above top of potatoes. Cook on high heat bringing to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft and cabbage is cooked-approximately 60 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to serve.
That’s it-super simple and oh so good!

p.s. We made a huge pot of this-the meal cost under $20.00 and was enough for 2 meals for a family of 5

Sounds good to me!! Thanks.
Looks delicious and easy. A one pot meal. Do you serve anything else with it?
I like to serve this with fresh bread for dipping into the ‘broth’. Italian bread or French bread are my favorites. : )
Ooh, I love a nice easy meal! My family would love this! How many potatoes do you use?

Sounds so tasty. My Grandma used to make a dish like this and I loved it. Thank you very much! PS, I love your blog
Love this growing up. Forgot how long to cook. Thanks. Usually after the potatoes and cabbage are done I get a big pan under the strainer, the juices I turn into gravy with alittle bit of flour and milk. Thanks so much for the instructions. have to run to turn down the stove.
