3russet potatoes(peeled & cubed)
Instructions
To begin, sauté the bacon pieces, in your Dutch oven until they are golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to scoop the cooked bacon out to a dish that is lined with a paper towel. Set it aside for now.
Add the shredded cabbage to the Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until the cabbage is cooked and slightly browned in some spots, about 10 minutes. Add the butter if you need to, but the bacon drippings are often enough.
Add in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen all of the "flavor bits" and de-glaze the pot.
Add in all of the remaining ingredients.
Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are cooked, about 15 minutes.
