How to Make Cabbage Fritters

Prep the cabbage
Shred the cabbage finely using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife. Place it in a large mixing bowl.
Mix the fritter batter
Add onion, eggs, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley to the shredded cabbage. Stir until the mixture comes together into a thick batter.
Shape and fry
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop spoonfuls of the cabbage mixture and flatten slightly into patties. Fry 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Make the dipping sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt (or sour cream), dill, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with paprika before serving.
Serve and enjoy
Serve the fritters hot with the creamy dill sauce on the side.
