One dish cabbage

I love meals you can cook all in one pot and be done with it.  That's why I love soups.  This is just as easy.  Just like with the soups, all you need to go with it is cornbread.

Head of green cabbage
potatoes (I prefer the red ones but any will do)
pound package of smoked sausage
Onion (optional)
1/2 stick of butter

Melt the butter in a large pan.  Meanwhile chop or slice (which ever you prefer) the head of cabbage.
Add to the pot.  Stir the cabbage and let it kinda saute' in the butter.  Peel the potatoes.  Cut into big chunks and add to the pot.  If you use the red potatoes, don't peel, just wash them good.  If they are small just add them whole.  Larger ones will need to be cut into chunks.  Slice the smoked sausage into 2-3 inch pieces and lay on top.  If you want to add onion, do so at this point.  Peel and cut into wedges.  Don't dice.  Lay on top.  Cover the pot and simmer on low heat.  Don't stir too often, you will break up the potatoes.  Salt and pepper to taste.  When the potatoes are done, it's ready.
