Ingredients For Fried Cabbage Patties
Our recipe for fried cabbage patties requires only a few simple ingredients.
Of course, the main ingredient is fresh cabbage, so make sure to choose the best quality available.
For the patties, I always use organic free-range eggs, as they significantly enhance the flavor. Trust me, the difference is worth it!

I choose to fry the cabbage patties in cold-pressed avocado oil, which not only is healthy for you but also has a high smoking point. Of course, you can use a neutral vegetable oil or olive oil instead.
Other ingredients we need are all-purpose flour, red onion, and fresh parsley.
Make Fried Cabbage Patties In A Few Simple Steps
Enjoy our delicious cabbage fritters while they are still hot accompanied by our flavorful dip on the side. (You’ll find the recipe for the dip in the recipe card.)
1. Step – Prepare The Cabbage
Start by washing the cabbage thoroughly, and then remove the stem.
Using a sharp knife, finely slice the cabbage. Transfer the sliced cabbage to a large pot and add hot water until the cabbage is just barely covered.
Boil the cabbage for around 5 minutes.
Line a colander with a tea towel and place the colander inside a smaller pot.
After cooking the cabbage, use a slotted spoon to transfer the cabbage pieces into the tea towel.
Allow the cabbage to cool for about 30 minutes, then squeeze the tea towel containing the cabbage to remove any excess liquid.
2. Step – Prepare The Batter
Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then scramble them using a fork. Gradually add the flour and incorporate it into the eggs.
Next, we add our finely chopped parsley and red onion. Mix it in well but also try not to overmix the batter.
Now it is time to add the cabbage to the batter and combine it as well.
3. Step – Form The Patties
Using slightly damp hands, shape the mixture into patties and coat them with bread crumbs.
4. Step – Fry And Enjoy!
Heat the oil of your choice in a frying pan. I am using an enameled cast-iron pan.
Be sure not to overcrowd the pan with too many patties.
Fry on medium heat on both sides until golden brown.
Extra Tip
Fried cabbage patties can be stored in the freezer, providing a quick and healthy snack whenever needed.
