Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 3 slices bacon
• 3 tbsp oil
• 12 oz. smoked kielbasa sausage, sliced and quartered
• 1 cup green onions, thinly sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Seasonings
• 1/8 tsp parsley
• 1/8 tsp garlic seasoning
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1/8 tsp chili powder
• 1/8 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp fennel seed
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper
• 2 cups Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1" cubes
• 1 head (3 lb.) cabbage, chopped into 1" pieces
• 2/3 cup chicken stock
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Directions

1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet until crisp.  Remove and break into pieces.
2. Add the oil and cook the sausage over medium heat until they begin to brown.
3. Add the green onions, garlic, and seasonings.  Cook for 2 minutes.
4. Add the potatoes, cabbage, chicken stock, cider vinegar, and pepper.  Cover and cook until the potatoes and cabbage are tender, about 30 minutes.  Stir every 10 minutes.
• Depending on the size of your skillet, you might need to switch to a large Dutch oven to have more room for all the ingredients.
5. Serve with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.  Top with the crumbled bacon.
