directions
- Skin and cube potatoes, cover with slightly salted water and cook until nearly mushy. Remove from heat, but don't discard the water!
- Saute onions and bacon (small cubes, about 1/4 inch) with the butter, then stir in the flour. Gradually pour in the stock, bring to a boil, then add in the potatoes with the remaining liquid. Add pepper, vinegar and sugar and as much additional salt as you like. The gravy should be sweet, sour and salty.
- Dump the cabbage into the gravy, bring to a boil and remove from heat. The cabbage should not be cooked but only blanched. Try again whether you should add some more vinegar, sugar or salt.
- Serve immediately with meatloaf or meatballs.

Thank you so much for sharing this authentic German dish with all of us Mia. It was incredible. I have never made anything quite like this. What a treat it was. Very quick and easy to throw together with excellent results. Who would have thought that cabbage could taste so good. I served with meatballs for a perfect meal. The gravy was thick, rich and very flavorful. Sweet, sour and salty all my favorite flavors in one dish. I will be making this again, but will serve with meatloaf for my brother.

This was excellent. The flavour was perfect. I messed it up a bit by making ahead of time and keeping it warm for about 30 minutes while I made the meatballs. The potatoes got too mushy and the gravy wasn't very gravy-like. Totally my fault, though. The gravy was perfect initially. I will definitely be making this again. I served it with Recipe #33944 and Recipe #478656. Perfectly paired. Thanks for posting Mia! Made for PAC Fall 2012.
