Cabbage and Potato Patties, a super easy recipe for simple, wholesome, and delicious vegetarian and lactose-free patties perfect to serve also as a main course.
These patties made with boiled potatoes and savoy cabbage stand out for their bold flavor and are perfect for family lunch and dinner.
They are flavored with grated Pecorino Romano, a naturally lactose-free cheese, making them perfect for those who are intolerant.
In this case, I opted for baking in the traditional oven, but they can also be prepared in a pan, fryer, or air fryer.
