👨🍳 Οδηγίες

In a large pot, boil the potatoes and cabbage in salted water until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

Return the drained vegetables to the pot over low heat for a few minutes to allow any excess moisture to evaporate. Mash the potatoes and cabbage together using a potato masher or fork. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

In a separate frying pan, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

Add the olive oil to the bacon fat in the frying pan. Heat over medium-high heat. Add the mashed potato and cabbage mixture to the pan and press it down firmly with a spatula to form a large pancake or several smaller ones.

Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. You may need to carefully flip the trinxat using a large plate or lid.

Serve the trinxat hot, garnished with the crispy bacon pieces and fresh parsley, if desired.
