Quarter the potatoes and place them in a large saucepan. Add water to cover along with:
- ½ teaspoon salt
Bring to a boil and add:
- One small head cabbage (about 1½ pounds), trimmed, cored, and quartered
Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Stir in:
- 8 ounces smoked ham, coarsely chopped
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley, dill, or a combination
- Salt and black pepper to taste
You may drain the vegetables and serve on a large platter, or serve in individual bowls with the cooking liquid. Serve with:
