Total Time: 1 hr 45 mins Preparation Time: 1 hr Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 lb potato
• 4 ounces feta cheese
• 4 spring onions or 1 onion, tennis ball- size,chopped
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 1 1/2 tablespoons dried dill
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 egg, beaten

• 2 drain, peel the potatoes while warm, place in a bowl and mash.
• 3 add the feta cheese crumbled, the spring onions or the onion, dill, lemon juice and egg.
• 4 season with salt and pepper (not too much salt: the feta cheese is fairly salted already).
• 5 stir well.
• 6 cover the mixture and chill about 30 minutes.
• 7 divide the mixture in walnut-size balls, and flatten them slightly so they look like little thick cookies (it helps to have a bowl with water on the table to clean the hands after making several patties: they get very sticky!).
• 8 dredge with the flour.
• 9 heat some oil in a frying pan (like 3 tablespoons) and fry the patties until golden brown on each side.
• 10 keep adding little oil when needed.
• 11 drain on kitchen paper and serve warm.
