Pickled black cabbage with potato is a Turkish-style preparation combining fermented black cabbage with potato. Black cabbage is a leafy green also known as collard greens in English; recipes differ in whether the potato is fermented with the cabbage or added later.
Pickled black cabbage with potato starts with black cabbage fermented in salted brine; the potato may be included during preparation or added later, depending on the recipe. Keep the vegetables submerged and use a clean container to support safe fermentation.
Pickled black cabbage with potato can be served as a tangy side or cooked into a warm dish, often sautéed with onion. If it tastes too salty, rinse and drain just the portion you plan to eat, then taste before adding salt to a recipe.
No. Pickled black cabbage with potato uses black cabbage, a leafy green rather than the usual white cabbage used for sauerkraut, and includes potato. Both can be fermented, but their vegetables, texture, and customary uses are different.
Pickled black cabbage with potato is associated with Turkish Black Sea cooking, where black cabbage is a familiar ingredient. Preparation varies between households, so the potato may be handled differently and the dish may be served as a side or cooked.
Not always. Some versions ferment the potato along with the cabbage, while others add cooked potato later, especially when making a hot dish. Follow the recipe’s method rather than assuming that every potato in this preparation has fermented.
Yes. Pickled black cabbage with potato can be heated or sautéed, including with onion, as a savory side dish. Because the pickled cabbage already brings salt and acidity, taste it first and adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
Store opened pickled black cabbage with potato in the refrigerator, covered and kept in its brine. Use a clean utensil each time and keep the vegetables submerged; discard it if you see mold or notice an unpleasant, unusual smell.
Pickled black cabbage with potato can taste very salty because it is preserved in brine. Rinse or briefly soak only the amount you will serve, then drain it; rinsing the whole batch or discarding its brine can shorten its keeping quality.
Pickled black cabbage with potato tastes tangy and savory, with a soft, earthy cabbage flavor and a milder, starchy contrast from the potato. Fermentation and brine strength affect how sharp or salty each batch tastes.

Pickled black cabbage with potato brings together Turkish kara lahana—leafy collard greens common in the Black Sea region—and potatoes, preserved in a salty brine. The vegetables are often left in generous pieces, and fermentation gives the pickle its characteristic tang.
The greens soften while the potato adds a hearty bite. In Turkey it can be served alongside a home-cooked meal, including beans or cornbread, or offered in a small portion as part of a spread. For readers elsewhere, it works much like other vegetable pickles: a sharp, savoury side to balance richer dishes. It provides fibre, but the brine makes it high in sodium; rinse briefly before serving if you prefer a milder, less salty taste.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
