Miss Mimmy's Old Dutch Pot (fried cabbage)

- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 small onion (minced)
- 1 salt and pepper to taste
- 1 packages smoked sausage
- 1 cup chicken broth
- fry bacon (preferably in a cast iron pan)
- while bacon is frying cut up cabbage into 1" slices.
- The core can be used for coleslaw or thrown away.
- cut potatoes into pieces.
- salt and pepper potatoes.
- add minced onion to potatoes and also mix with potatoes.
- once bacon is done, remove from skillet.
- put cabbage in and stir to make sure cabbage is covered with bacon drippings.
- wilt cabbage.
- should be on Med ...
- salt and light peppering of the cabbage.
- lay potatoes on top of cabbage.
- pour chicken broth over the cabbage mixture.
- cabbage makes a lot if liquid so 1/4 broth is plenty.
- turn down to Med/ low....
- cut up Sausage into bite size pieces and lay on top of potatoes ..my husband is spoiled cause you can lay large pieces of sausage on top!!
- !
- poke a whole into each Sausage link with a long fork.this is not necessary if you cut in bite size pieces...cover....
- let cook until potatoes are done.
- to check this poke potatoes with a fork.
- *** this was taught to me by a neighbor that I believe was of German decent.. She said that she and her husband worked and she would make this meal because it was fast and easy ... my husband and I bought the house next door.. she would be sitting in the porch and I would go over and sit with her for hours.. she was a wonderful cheerleader... she passed away 2 yrs ago... and though her name was Mary ... her family called her Mimmy and she asked that I do to...
- I loved her so much..
