Steps to Make Golden Potato and Cabbage Patties
- Prepare the Vegetables
Boil the Potatoes:
Peel the potatoes, chop them into chunks, and boil in salted water until fork-tender. Drain and mash until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.
Cook the Cabbage:
In a skillet, sauté the shredded cabbage over medium heat with a pinch of salt. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the Onion:
Finely chop the onion and sauté in a small amount of oil until translucent. This step enhances its sweetness and reduces bitterness.
- Make the Patty Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cooked cabbage, sautéed onion, and 2 eggs.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture feels too loose to shape, add 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs as a binder.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape and Coat the Patties
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each into round patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Prepare a breading station with two shallow bowls—one with beaten eggs and the other with breadcrumbs.
Dip each patty into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s well coated, then roll it in breadcrumbs to cover all sides.
- Fry the Patties
Heat a generous amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry the patties in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper.
Mix well and adjust the seasoning to your taste. Chill the sauce in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Serve
Serve the warm patties with the creamy garlic dill sauce on the side. Garnish with additional dill or a squeeze of lemon for a fresh finish.
