Servings: 6 servings
Course: Hearty mains
Cuisine: Home cooking

Ingredients
  

  • 900-1000 g mashed potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 200-250 g flour plus extra for dusting and shaping
  • 500 g braised cabbage
  • seasoning to taste
  • vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Shred the cabbage and sauté until done together with onion and carrot, seasoning to taste with salt, pepper, sugar and a little vinegar.
  2. Boil the potatoes and mash with water, salt and sugar, add turmeric for color and a piece of butter. Let it cool completely.
  3. Mix the eggs and flour into the cooled mashed potatoes and knead into a potato dough.
  4. Shape balls about the size of a small tangerine (roughly 2 heaping tbsp of mashed potato) and place them on a floured board, coating each one well in flour.
  5. Pour oil into a pan, as for meat patties, and set over heat.
  6. Flatten a ball into a round patty, place the cabbage filling in the center, fold in half and pinch the edges shut like a pierogi, dusting with flour as needed.
  7. Fry the zrazy on both sides until golden: after flipping, cover the pan with a lid. Any unfried patties can be frozen.
