A simple recipe for cabbage cooked the Southern way by sautéing in bacon grease then slowly cooking until tender - sometimes called Fried Cabbage. Some people crave stuff like chocolate or potato chips. I crave stuff like cabbage or coconut pie.
Baked crispy cabbage chips are a perfect salty nibble! They are vegan, keto, Paleo, gluten-free, and made with nothing more than cabbage leaves, salt, and a smidge of oil (although I have an oil-free version, too).
Recipe: Crispy Potato Chips and Sauteed Cabbage
Preheat the oven to 300F (150C). Place a wire rack inside a large baking sheet. This is my preferred method for crisping the chips because it allows the air and heat to circulate all around the chips. Alternatively, simply line the baking sheet with parchment paper. The chips will still be plenty crispy.
The cabbage chips are best eaten within a day or two of making them (this is never a problem for me). However, if you like, you can store the cooled chips in an airtight container (at room temperature) for up to 2 days.

Oil-free Option: The chips can be made without oil. If you wish to add salt, rinse and drain the cabbage leaves, shaking off, or blotting (with a towel) most, but not all, of the water. Alternatively, very lightly mist the leaves using a spray bottle filled with water. Place the leaves in a mixing bowl, as directed, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat. Proceed as directed.
If you have never fried or sauteed cabbage before, you need to try this dish. It is also budget-friendly and can be made with various toppings. For, example, you could replace the bacon with sausage, or for a vegetarian version, simply use potatoes instead. It tastes delicious either way.
The crispy bacon adds smokiness to pan-fried cabbage, which turns golden brown in a cast-iron skillet. Onions, salt, and pepper lend a savory flavor, while a touch of brown sugar brings out the natural sweetness of the cabbage.
If your fried potatoes are soggy rather than the crispy potatoes you crave, or raw rather than tender, or even burnt rather than golden brown you are probably doing (or not doing) one of the following:
My mother pan-fries these potatoes to serve them next to Kadhi-Khichdi. I have never come across any other family serving crispy potatoes with Kadhi Khichdi other than mine lol. Let me know in the comments if your family has the same kadhi-potato tradition.
French fries (North American English), chips (British English and other national varieties),[1] finger chips (Indian English),[2] french-fried potatoes, or simply fries, are batonnet or allumette-cut[3] deep-fried potatoes of disputed origin from Belgium and France. They are prepared by cutting potatoes into even strips, drying them, and frying them, usually in a deep fryer. Pre-cut, blanched, and frozen russet potatoes are widely used, and sometimes baked in a regular or convection oven; air fryers are small convection ovens marketed for frying potatoes.
French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of diners, fast food restaurants, pubs, and bars. They are often salted and may be served with ketchup, vinegar, mayonnaise, tomato sauce, or other local specialities. Fries can be topped more heavily, as in the dishes of poutine or chili cheese fries. French fries can be made from sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. A baked variant, oven fries, uses less or no oil.[4]
The standard method for cooking french fries is deep frying, which submerges them in hot fat, nowadays most commonly oil.[5] Vacuum fryers produce potato chips with lower oil content, while maintaining their colour and texture.[6]
French fries are fried in a two-step process: the first time is to cook the starch throughout the entire cut at low heat, and the second time is to create the golden crispy exterior of the fry at a higher temperature. This is necessary because if the potato cuts are only fried once, the temperature would either be too hot, causing only the exterior to be cooked and not the inside, or not hot enough where the entire fry is cooked, but its crispy exterior will not develop. Although the potato cuts may be baked or steamed as a preparation method, this section will only focus on french fries made using frying oil. During the initial frying process (approximately 150 C), water on the surface of the cuts evaporates off the surface and the water inside the cuts gets absorbed by the starch granules, causing them to swell and produce the fluffy interior of the fry.[19]
The starch granules are able to retain the water and expand due to gelatinisation. The water and heat break the glycosidic linkages between amylopectin and amylose strands, allowing a new gel matrix to form via hydrogen bonds which aid in water retention. The moisture that gets trapped in between the gel matrix is responsible for the fluffy interior of the fry. The gelatinised starch molecules move towards the surface of the fries "forming a thick layer of gelatinised starch" and this layer of pre-gelatinised starch will turn into the crispy exterior after the potato cuts are fried for a second time.[20] During the second frying process (approximately 180 C), the remaining water on the surface of the cuts will evaporate and the gelatinised starch molecules that collected towards the potato surface are cooked again, forming the crispy exterior. The golden-brown colour of the fry will develop when the amino acids and glucose on the exterior participate in a Maillard browning reaction.[19]
In the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand, the term chips is generally used instead, though thinly cut fried potatoes are sometimes called french fries or skinny fries, to distinguish them from chips, which are cut thicker. In the US or Canada these more thickly-cut chips might be called steak fries, depending on the shape. The word chips is more often used in North America to refer to potato chips, known in the UK and Ireland as crisps.[22]
One story about the name "french fries" claims that when the American Expeditionary Forces arrived in Belgium during World War I, they assumed that chips were a French dish because French was spoken in the Belgian Army.[28][29] But the name existed long before that in English, and the popularity of the term did not increase for decades after 1917.[30] At that time, the term "french fries" was growing in popularity, the term was already used in the United States as early as 1899, although it is not clear whether this referred to batons (chips) or slices of potato e.g. in an item in Good Housekeeping which specifically references "Kitchen Economy in France": "The perfection of French fries is due chiefly to the fact that plenty of fat is used".[31]
The standard deep-fried cut potatoes in the United Kingdom are called chips, and are cut into pieces between 10 and 15 mm (0.39 and 0.59 in) wide. They are occasionally made from unpeeled potatoes (skins showing). British chips are not the same thing as potato chips (an American term); those are called "crisps" in the UK and some other countries. In the UK, chips are part of the popular, and now international, fast food dish fish and chips. In the UK, the name "chips" is correct for both thick and thin cut, but chips are considered by some to be a separate item to french fries, with chips being thicker cut than french fries, they are generally cooked only once and at a lower temperature.[48][49][50] From 1813 on, recipes for deep-fried cut potatoes occur in popular cookbooks.[51] By the late 1850s, at least one cookbook refers to "French Fried Potatoes".[52]
Whilst eating 'regular' crispy french fries is common in South Africa, a regional favourite, particularly in Cape Town, is a soft soggy version doused in white vinegar called "slap-chips" (pronounced "slup-chips" in English or "slaptjips" in Afrikaans).[74][75][76] These chips are typically thicker and fried at a lower temperature for a longer period of time than regular french fries.[74] Slap-chips are an important component of a Gatsby sandwich, also a common Cape Town delicacy.[74] Slap-chips are also commonly served with deep fried fish which are also served with the same white vinegar.
Fried potato (フライドポテト, Furaido poteto) is a standard fast food side dish in Japan.[77] Inspired by Japanese cuisine, okonomiyaki fries are served with a topping of unagi sauce, mayonnaise, katsuobushi, nori seasoning (furikake) and stir-fried cabbage.[78]
Southern fried cabbage is a traditional Southern side dish but is often served as the main dish too. Sometimes on its own or with a side of cornbread and maybe throw in some pan fried potatoes to make it a complete meal.
Air fryer cabbage will quickly become your new favorite way to eat it. Simply seasoned with garlic, onion and salt, these cabbage steaks come out perfectly tender with crispy edges when cooked in the air fryer.
Once sliced into steaks, place on a large baking sheet and spray liberally with the cooking spray. This both helps the seasoning adhere to the cabbage while also assisting in those beloved crispy edges as it cooks.
The cabbage itself is braised until soft, tender, and almost sweet and tossed with a bit of butter so that it is evocative of a mere hint of indulgence. Meanwhile, the potatoes are given a good fry in some olive oil so that they are crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and make you feel warm and fuzzy all over.
Potatoes are a rich source of resistant starch if they are steamed and once cooked immediately placed in the fridge or freezer to cool and allow the crystalline structure to return to its original state. Once cooled, the potatoes can be used in the normal way. Salad. Warmed and mashed. Oven roasted or fried in oil for chips/fries. Resistant starch then feeds the residents of the microbiome that look after so much of our health. Potatoes cooked just once are simple starch that cause so much trouble as food allergies and weight gain. Twice cooked chips have always produced great chips, but it is debatable whether they are cooled immediately after the first cook to maintain the crystalline integrity needed for the bowel benefit.I am interested to understand what this brine method does to the starch structure. Does the soaking do the same as the first cook, or does the brine soak retain the crystalline structure as if it was cooked and cooled? This is fascinating to contemplate. 2ff7e9595c
