Potato patties with feta cheese
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Feta cheese becomes soft during frying, giving the patties a very tender texture and a pleasant salty taste. To enhance this flavor, serve with fresh sour cream or a yogurt sauce with fresh dill or parsley. Serve hot.

Step 2
In a bowl, mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork while still warm. Add eggs, 2 tablespoons of flour, salt, and pepper to the same bowl. Grate the feta cheese on a coarse grater and add it to the potatoes. Mix thoroughly to obtain a homogeneous dough.

Step 3
With your hands, shape the resulting dough into dense patties. To prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands, dust them with flour. Also sprinkle a little flour on the formed patties so they don't stick to the pan when frying.

Pour several tablespoons of vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it well. Start placing the patties, frying them for 2 minutes on each side. Add more oil to the pan as needed.

Step 5
Place the cooked patties on a paper towel. This will allow the excess fat to be absorbed by the paper, keeping the patties less greasy and crispy. Serve them warm.
