Blue Ribbon Recipe

This potatoes, cabbage, and bacon recipe is easy to prepare any night of the week. Big on flavor, it's a great side dish for roast chicken, pork chops, baked chicken breasts, and more. We love the savory and hearty flavors and the kick of spice from red pepper flakes. Bacon adds a nice smoky flavor to the side dish.
