- 30 g butter
- 180 g flour
- Additional flour for dusting
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt
- Black pepper
Ingredients for the Filling:
- 400 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 egg, beaten
- Black pepper
Instructions for the Filling:

Instructions for the Potatoes:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
Peel and wash the potatoes, then cut them into pieces. Boil them in salted water until very soft. - Mash the Potatoes:
Drain the potatoes, place them in a bowl, and mash them until smooth. - Mix Ingredients:
Add the butter, salt (if needed), black pepper, and beaten egg to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to combine. - Incorporate the Flour:
Gradually add the flour to the mashed potatoes and mix until fully absorbed and the dough is workable. - Shape the Patties:
Dust your work surface with flour. Take a tablespoon-sized portion of the potato mixture (about the size of two walnuts) and place it on the floured surface. Flatten it slightly with your fingers. - Add Filling:
Place a tablespoon of the feta mixture in the center of the potato dough. Fold the edges up to enclose the filling like a pouch, then gently flatten it into a patty shape. - Cook the Patties:
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the patties on both sides until golden brown.
