Ultimate Savory Cabbage Fritters

Directions

Preparing the Fritters

  1. Prepare the Cabbage: Shred the cabbage finely using a knife or a food processor. Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: Add the finely chopped onion, eggs, flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the cabbage. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined and the mixture is slightly sticky.
  3. Heat the Oil: Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Frying the Fritters

  1. Form the Fritters: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of the cabbage mixture and form them into patties.
  2. Fry the Fritters: Carefully place the patties into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet; cook the fritters in batches if necessary.
  3. Drain Excess Oil: Once the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Serving

  1. Serve Hot: Serve the cabbage fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce. They pair well with sour cream, tzatziki, or a simple yogurt dip.

Tips for Perfect Cabbage Fritters

  • Shred Finely: Ensure the cabbage is shredded finely for a better texture and easier cooking.
  • Even Size: Form the fritters into even-sized patties to ensure they cook uniformly.
  • Hot Oil: Make sure the oil is hot before adding the fritters to ensure they become crispy and don’t absorb too much oil.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again.
