Ruskie Kapusta

My Uncle grew up eating Russian and Polish VERY ethnic foods - and REALLY wants me to find a dish and make it for him called Ruskie Kapusta, it is a potatoe (he doesnt remember if its mached, chuncked up?), sour cream, sugar, saurcraut, bacon (pork?), onion and thats all he can remember... it could be cabbage and not craut but he is not sure.... it was a hot and sweeter dish - not sour like the craut so he cant remember if its craut or cabbage... He has been asking me to find this for years and I have had no luck.... I love to cook and this would really make him very happy as he is not in very good health.....

when you cook it do not ever do it and day after it will taste better as it will have time to release all the flavors

Kapusta is cabbage in Russian. He probably meant "pirogi s kapustoy" which is that stuffed with cabbage.
Some like that?

That sounds like polish style fried cabbage (kapusta smażona) to me, or it could also be spring cabbage (młoda kapusta) or (kapusta na słodko) all of those dishes are usually served with whole young potatoes pealed and boiled, garnished with freshly chopped dill, optionally drizzled with butter and you may add a tablespoon or two of sour cream on top of the potatoes if you like. Cabbage will usually contain bacon or some other leftover cuts of meats that were shredded and preheated before they were thrown into the mix, or simply plain cabbage with bacon and onion and thicken with roux and seasoned. Google the polish terms on Google images, when you find something that looks familiar look up he recipe and post it here, someone will translate for you.
