Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
Remove the cooked patties from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Greek potato patties warm with a side of Tzatziki sauce or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
