GERMAN POTATOES AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• 1. Cut cabbage into 1/8 inch strips. Wash and drain cabbage removing any thick ribs. 2. Peel and cut potatoes in 3/4 inch dice. 3. Put potatoes, salt, cumin, bay leaf in a large pot, cover and boil potatoes for 15 minutes or until just tender. 4. Add cabbage to pot. You want the cabbage to have some bite and most of the liquid to have cooked off. 5. In a medium size pan, fry bacon until golden, add onions and cook until bacon is crisp and onions caramelized (about 20 minutes). Add red wine vinegar to bacon. Remove from heat and pour off most of fat. 6. To assemble: the cabbage should be only moist. If there is too much liquid raise heat and cook it off. Remove from heat, add cayenne, bacon mixture, and parsley.
