Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Makes: 6 cups
Serving Size 1/2 cup
Ingredients
1 pound red potatoes (about 3-4 cups chopped)
1 Tablespoon margarine or butter
1⁄2 cup onion, chopped
6 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 1/2 head)
1 cup nonfat or 1% milk

Directions
- Scrub potatoes but do not peel. Cut into quarters. Cook in boiling water or steam until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
