- Peel and cube the potatoes and boil until soft. Drain well and mash with butter.
- Chop the cabbage and braise in vegetable oil slowly over a low heat until the cabbage softens. Drain off the excess oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix the cabbage with the mashed potato.
- In a medium to hot pan, melt a knob of butter. Shape the cabbage and potato mix into patties (2 per person), either by hand or using a pastry cutter, and add them to the pan.
