German Potatoes

4 to 6 baking potatoes
6 to 8 slices bacon
1 onion chopped fine
cabbage (approximately 1/2 head depending on taste)
Fry bacon in large frypan.

Fry bacon until crisp, remove and crumble. Brown onions in bacon
grease, until transparent and slightly brown, remove and set aside.
Slice potatoes into bacon grease (you may need to add a small amount
of oil). When potatoes are almost done, mix in the bacon and onions
and layer cabbage on top. Cover with a lid and turn heat to low.
Cook for approximately 10 minutes until cabbage is soft. Remove
lid, chop and mix cabbage in with potatoes and turn heat to medium.
Cook until potatoes and cabbage are done, approximately 10 minutes.
Add salt and pepper and serve with any meat. All the ingredients
can be varied, depending on taste.
