Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 1 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 2 stalks Green onion (finely chopped)
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and boil until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes in a large bowl. Allow them to cool slightly.
Step 2
Crumble the feta cheese into the mashed potatoes. Add the egg, parsley, dill, green onion, flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3
Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Place the breadcrumbs on a plate and coat each patty evenly in breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 5
Remove the cooked patties from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 6
Serve the Greek potato patties warm with a side of Tzatziki sauce or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
