Potato and Feta Cakes
Total time: 40 minutes
I like Potato Cakes well enough that I don't always wait for leftover mashed potatoes to make them. The potatoes only take about 12 minutes to cook, and they are a bit drier than traditional mashed, letting the cakes stay together well, even with the feta.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium potatoes, (12oz, 360gr)
- 3oz (90gr) feta cheese
- 2 tbs dried chives
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp milk
- 1 tbs olive oil
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks.
- Cook in rapidly boiling water until very tender, 12 - 15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and mash with a fork or potato masher.
- Spread the mashed potatoes on a plate to cool for 5 minutes.
- Cut or crumble feta into small pieces (pea size).
- In medium bowl whisk egg, milk and chives.
- Add potatoes and mix well.
- Stir in feta.
- Divide into 4 equal portions.
- Heat oil in large nonstick skillet. Add potato portions, forming into patties in the skillet, about 1/2" (1.25cm) thick.
- Fry until brown on one side, about 7 minutes.
- Turn and brown the other side. Remove and serve.
