In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat until shimmering. Toss in one diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until translucent.

Stir in 2-3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for an additional minute until aromatic. Add 4 cups of chopped cabbage and cook for about 7-10 minutes until the cabbage wilts.

Once the cabbage is tender, add 4 cups of cubed potatoes along with salt, pepper, and paprika. Pour in enough water to almost cover the potatoes, then bring to a gentle boil.

Lower the heat to medium-low and cover. Allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender, stirring occasionally.

Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Stir in any optional add-ins and cook for an additional 5 minutes uncovered.

Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before transferring to a serving dish.
