Southern-fried cabbage and fried potatoes. What's not to love?

1 green cabbage, shred
3 russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
6 strips bacon
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until nice and crispy, about 12 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate and keep the bacon drippings in the pan. Crumble the bacon when able to handle.

Add in the potatoes, cabbage, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bacon grease and cook, covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and stir in the bacon. Serve.
