Directions
- Cook the Potatoes:
- In a pot, cover the potatoes with water and add 1 tablespoon of salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are soft. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Filling:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
- Add the grated carrot and cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage, cover with a lid, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Mix in tomato paste, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Set the filling aside to cool.
- Make the Dough:
- Mash the cooked potatoes in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add the egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Gradually add 1 cup of flour and baking powder, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add the additional ½ cup of flour.
- Assemble the Patties:
- Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Flatten each piece into a disc with your hands or a rolling pin.
- Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each disc. Fold the edges over the filling and seal tightly to form a patty.
- Fry the Patties:
- Heat sunflower oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the patties until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the fried patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
