Instructions

  1. Roughly mash the cooked potatoes with a fork, without turning them into a purée.
  2. Cook the shredded cabbage 5 minutes in boiling salted water, then drain it very thoroughly, pressing it.
  3. Finely slice the onion and cook it in the butter over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  4. Mix the potatoes, cabbage and onion, and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan. Press the mixture into a thick cake about 2 cm deep.
  6. Cook over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes without touching it, until the underside is well browned.
  7. Flip the cake over using a plate and brown the other side for 5 minutes. Serve straight away.

Variations and tips

Breakfast version. Fry 2 eggs on top of the cake at the end of cooking and serve with white beans in tomato sauce.

Vegan version. Replace the butter with extra oil and check that the sauce served alongside has no animal ingredients.
