Feta And Potato Patties - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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
flour (for dredging)
olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Boil the potatoes in their skins in lightly salted water until soft.
Drain, peel the potatoes while warm, place in a bowl and mash.
Add the feta cheese crumbled, the spring onions or the onion, dill, lemon juice and egg.
Season with salt and pepper (not too much salt: the feta cheese is fairly salted already).
Stir well.
Cover the mixture and chill about 30 minutes.
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!).
Dredge with the flour.
Heat some oil in a frying pan (like 3 tablespoons) and fry the patties until golden brown on each side.
Keep adding little oil when needed.
Drain on kitchen paper and serve warm.
