Description
Crispy, golden cabbage patties filled with cheesy goodness, these vegetarian cabbage and cheese patties are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a delightful brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cabbage (finely shredded)
- 1 cup Mashed potatoes (cold or room temperature works best)
- 1 large Egg
- 1/2 cup All purpose flour
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Oil for frying (neutral oil with a high smoke point)
- 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, mashed potatoes, egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix with a spoon or your hands until everything is evenly combined and holds together when pressed.
- Stir in the grated Cheddar cheese so it’s distributed throughout the mixture.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Use enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Form the mixture into patties about 2–3 inches across, pressing gently so they stick together. Place them carefully in the hot oil. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3–4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden and the cheese inside is melty, another 3–4 minutes.
- Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels for a minute to release excess oil.
- Serve warm.
Notes
For a lighter binder, swap half the all-purpose flour for chickpea flour. For extra flavor, mix in sharp cheddar or a tablespoon of plain yogurt.
