Ingredients:
1 1/4 lbs potatoes
4 ounces feta cheese
4 spring onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon ground almonds
1 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
flour, for coating
3 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
Boil the potatoes in their skins in lightly salted water until soft; drain, then peel while still warm; place in a bowl and mash.
Crumble the feta cheese into the potatoes and add the spring onion, garlic, dill, ground almonds, egg and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remember that feta is salty, so taste the mixture before adding the salt. Stir well so that al the ingredients are well combined.
Cover the mixture and chill until it is firm; then divide the mixture into walnut-size balls, then flatten them slightly.
Lightly coat the polpettes with flour; heat the oil in a pan, preferably non-stick and saute the polpettes until they are golden brown on both sides.
Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
