How long will leftover cabbage and potatoes last?
Store leftover potatoes and cabbage in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat it in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat. It's not great for freezing because the texture of the potatoes and cabbage will deteriorate after thawing and reheating.
