Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fully cooked smoked kielbasa cut into large serving pieces
  • 4 5 medium potatoes peeled if desired and cut into large chunks
  • 1 medium head green cabbage cut into quarters
  • Water enough to cover or nearly cover the ingredients

For Serving (optional):

  • Butter
  • Sour cream
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Yellow or spicy brown mustard
  • Apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Place the kielbasa, potatoes, and cabbage wedges in a large stockpot or Dutch oven.
  • Add enough water to cover or nearly cover everything. It's fine if some of the cabbage sits above the water.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce the heat slightly and continue cooking at a gentle boil for approximately 20–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cabbage is tender.
  • Carefully drain the cooking water.
  • Separate the kielbasa, potatoes, and cabbage into serving bowls.
  • Serve hot with butter, sour cream, salt, pepper, mustard, and apple cider vinegar, as desired.

Notes

 
  • Cooking time depends on the size of the potato pieces and cabbage wedges.
  • If the cabbage is especially large, cut it into additional wedges so everything fits comfortably in the pot.
  • A little apple cider vinegar adds a delicious tang to the cooked cabbage.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3–4 days.
