Pointed cabbage and potatoes
Pointed cabbage is milder and more tender than white cabbage. I love pairing it with potatoes, whether mashed or shaped into Schupfnudeln. Cheddar adds flavour and combines with the stock to make a light sauce.
Preparing the cabbage
Remove any wilted outer leaves, quarter the cabbage and cut out the firm core. Finely slice the leaves. You need about 400 g prepared cabbage; the weight of half a head varies with its size.
Two pans for crisp potato noodles
Divide the butter between the pans. Simmer the cabbage with the stock for about 10 minutes and let the liquid reduce a little before adding the Cheddar. Fold in the separately fried potato noodles at the end. For a vegetarian version, use vegetable stock and Cheddar made with microbial rennet.

Kitchen tip
Add the grated Cheddar over low heat and stir briefly. Fold in the potato noodles just before serving so their browned sides keep some texture.
Serve with a little freshly chopped parsley if you like.
