### **Step-by-Step Instructions**
#### **1. Prepare the Ingredients**
Start by shredding the cabbage finely. If you have a food processor, it can save time. Dice the onion and chop the parsley.
#### **2. Mix the Batter**
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, diced onion, eggs, flour, breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated and a thick batter forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add a tablespoon of water or milk.
#### **3. Shape the Patties**
Scoop out small portions of the mixture and shape them into patties about 2-3 inches in diameter.
#### **4. Fry the Patties**
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet, leaving space between them. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
#### **5. Serve and Enjoy**
Serve the patties hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, tzatziki, or a spicy aioli.
