Prepare the vegetables: Remove any tough or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into 6 to 8 large wedges, keeping the core attached so the wedges hold together. Scrub the small gold potatoes well and leave them whole; trim any rough spots but do not peel.

Layer in the slow cooker: Place the whole potatoes in an even layer on the bottom of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Nestle
