- Drain the cabbage and add it to the pot with the beans, to cook everything together until the end, reserve the cooking water
- Half an hour before finishing the cooking of the beans, add the chopped potatoes to the pot
- If they are not covered with water, add water from cooking the cabbage so that they are covered with water while cooking
