My grandpa got through some tough times on this simple 4-ingredient staple, and every spring he still asks for it. It’s cheap, filling, and so easy to make.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Prep the vegetables
Cut the cabbage into 6–8 thick wedges, keeping the core intact. Chop the potatoes into chunks and slice the onion.

Tip: Keeping the cabbage core helps the wedges stay together while cooking.


Step 2: Layer in the slow cooker
Place the potatoes on the bottom, followed by the onions, then the cabbage on top.

Tip: This helps everything cook evenly, with the potatoes getting the most direct heat.


Step 3: Add seasoning and butter
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then dot the top with butter. Pour in the water around the edges.

Note: The liquid will slowly combine with the vegetables as they cook.


Step 4: Slow cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours (or HIGH for 3½–4 hours), until the potatoes are tender and the cabbage is soft.


Step 5: Serve
Stir gently, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Spoon some of the broth over the vegetables when serving.


Simple, filling, and perfect for a cozy meal.
