Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 60 grams Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a pot of salted water for 12-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
Step 2
Mash the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Step 3
Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the mashed potatoes.
Step 4
Finely chop the fresh parsley and green onions. Mince the garlic cloves. Add the parsley, green onions, and garlic to the potato mixture.
Step 5
Add the large egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper into the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and form a cohesive mixture.
Step 6
Form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
Step 7
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
Fry the patties in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 9
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the Feta and Potato Patties warm with a side of yogurt or tzatziki sauce for dipping, if desired.
