Ingredients

1. 2 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
2. 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
3. Salt and freshly ground pepper
4. 1/2 pound lean slab bacon, sliced 1/4 inch thick and cut into 1-inch pieces
5. 1 pound green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced (8 cups)
6. 2 garlic cloves, minced
7. 1/2 cup heavy cream
8. One 7 1/2-ounce package of farmer cheese

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°. Spread the potatoes on 2 large, rimmed baking sheets. Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each pan and toss to coat the potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Roast the potatoes for about 25 minutes, until browned on the bottom and tender. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Preheat the broiler.
2. Meanwhile, in a large, deep ovenproof skillet, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the bacon and cook over moderate heat until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the cabbage, cover and cook, stirring a few times, until tender, about 12 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the roasted potatoes, season with salt and pepper and add the cream. Simmer for 1 minute. Dollop the farmer cheese all over the top and broil for 1 minute, or until the cheese is browned. Serve right away.
