Cabbage and Cheese Patties

Delicious and easy cabbage and cheese patties made with shredded cabbage and leftover mashed potatoes, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cabbage (finely shredded)
  • 1 cup Mashed potatoes (cold or room temperature)
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/2 cup All purpose flour
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • Oil for frying (neutral oil)
  • 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Combine the shredded cabbage, mashed potatoes, egg, flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until evenly combined.
  2. Stir in the grated cheddar until well distributed.
  3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it shimmers. Use enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
  4. Form the mixture into patties about 2–3 inches across and place them in the hot oil.
  5. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook the second side until golden and the cheese is melty, another 3–4 minutes.
  6. Remove the patties from the pan and let drain on paper towels for a minute. Serve warm.

Notes

For a vegetarian but egg-free option, replace the egg with a flax egg or aquafaba. If your cabbage is watery, press it in a clean towel before mixing.
