Gather all ingredients.

Put the potatoes in a saucepan and add enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes, then drain.

While the potatoes cook, fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning now and then, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the slices on paper towels; crumble and set aside. Keep the drippings in the skillet.

Sauté the cabbage and onion in the drippings in the skillet over medium heat until soft and translucent, 10 to 15 minutes; cover the skillet to shorten the cooking time if you like. Remove from the heat.
