Ingredients:
2 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
1 medium head green cabbage (about 2–2½ pounds), cut into 8 thick wedges
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
Prepare the slow cooker
Lightly grease a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker to prevent sticking.
Layer the potatoes
Arrange the quartered potatoes evenly across the bottom to create a sturdy base for even cooking.
Season
Sprinkle half of the salt and pepper over the potatoes.
Add cabbage
Place cabbage wedges on top of the potatoes, keeping them intact so they hold their shape during cooking.
Season again
Sprinkle the remaining salt and pepper over the cabbage.
Add butter
Distribute butter pieces over the top, tucking some between layers for rich, even flavor.
Cook
Cover and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cabbage is soft and lightly golden:
LOW for 6–7 hours
HIGH for 3–4 hours
Serve
Spoon the buttery broth over each serving and enjoy hot.
