Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
Mash the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the mashed potatoes.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and green onions. Mince the garlic cloves. Add the parsley, green onions, and garlic to the potato mixture.
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.
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.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Fry the patties in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Feta and Potato Patties warm with a side of yogurt or tzatziki sauce for dipping, if desired.
