Potato Cakes

 

Ingredients

· 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes

· 1 small onion, peeled and grated

· Handful of fresh chives, finely chopped

· 1  cup crumbled feta cheese

· 1 large egg, lightly beaten

· 1 tbsp. olive oil, plus more as needed

· Flour

· Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Steps

1) Mix the mashed potatoes with the onion, chives, feta cheese, and egg. Season with plenty of salt and pepper.

2) Heat about 1 tbsp. olive oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Using floured hands, scoop up large balls of the mixture, roll, and flatten slightly.
