Season Generously: Don’t skimp on the seasonings. They add depth and complexity to the dish.
Crispy Potatoes: For extra crispy potatoes, use a high-starch variety like Russet and make sure they are cut uniformly.
Variations
Vegetarian Option: Substitute the ground beef with a plant-based meat alternative or use a mixture of mushrooms and lentils.
Cheesy Twist: Add some shredded cheese on top of the cabbage and beef before baking for an extra cheesy layer.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of chili flakes to the potatoes or the beef mixture for a spicy kick.
Storing and Reheating
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover cabbage and ground beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The Parmesan potatoes can also be stored in a separate airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheating
Reheat the cabbage and ground beef in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. The potatoes can be reheated in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness.
