Potato Feta And Parsley Cakes Food

GARLIC-PARSLEY POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Place potatoes, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a pot and add water to cover by 1 inch. Bring water to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are just tender all the way through, about 10 minutes. Drain potatoes, return to the pot, and shake over medium heat for 1 minute to dry them out.
• Add 3 tablespoons cornmeal and the parsley and mash everything together with a potato masher, leaving the mixture chunky.
• Whisk together egg, egg yolk, milk and 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl. Stir mixture into potatoes and season with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Form potato mixture into rounds about 3/4-inch thick. Put remaining cornmeal in a shallow dish.
• Working in batches, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Coat potato cakes on each side in cornmeal, brown on both sides in the skillet and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining potato cakes, adding more oil as needed between batches. (At this point, cakes can be set aside at room temperature for up to 4 hours.)
• Bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.

EASY GREEK POTATO PATTIES WITH CREAMY FETA CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes then place them with their skins in a pot with plenty of salted water and cook them until tender. Drain and let them cool slightly. Peel off their skin.
• Place the potatoes in a bowl and mash them with a potato masher or pass them through a potato ricer.
• To the bowl with the potatoes, add the Feta, parsley, mint, nutmeg, salt and pepper and mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add the egg and mix again. If the mixture is too loose to form patties, add some flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is solid. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Take the bowl out of the refrigerator and form small patties, about 2½". Place the patties on a large plate.
• In a large, non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil under medium-high heat.
• Flour both sides of the patties lightly and cook in the hot oil until golden brown. Turn and cook the second side too. If they brown too fast, lower the temperature. Add more oil to the skillet as necessary.
• Top with a few sliced green onions and serve warm with some Feta Cheese sauce on the side.
• For the Feta Cheese Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small food processor and mix until fairly smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. The sauce can keep in the fridge for a week and can also be used to top baked potatoes or in a salad dressing.

VEGETABLE AND FETA LATKES

Steps:

• Place the zucchini, potato and carrots in a colander, place paper towels or a cheesecloth over the top and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Sprinkle salt over the vegetables and let them drain for 15 minutes. Squeeze vegetable again in paper towels.
• In a large mixing bowl combine eggs, vegetables, salt and pepper. Mix well. Stir in matzo meal or flour, parsley and feta.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan. Place vegetable mixture, formed into pancake sized cakes in hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides. (Cook two to three minutes per side). Add more oil as needed to keep cakes frying up well. Drain fried latkes on paper towels.

FETA CAKES WITH GREEK SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and oil a non-stick baking sheet. Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the potatoes and cook for 15-20 mins until tender. Drain very well, then return to the pan and mash with lots of black pepper, the lemon zest and juice, the spring onions, mint and 2 tbsp of the parsley. Stir through the feta.
• Beat the egg in a shallow bowl, then mix the flour, paprika and remaining 1 tbsp parsley in another. Shape the potato mixture into eight cakes, then carefully coat all over in the egg, then the flour mix, reshaping them if you need to. Arrange the cakes on the baking sheet and bake for 15 mins until starting to turn golden. Use a palette knife to carefully turn each one over and bake for another 10-15 mins until golden.
• Meanwhile, toss half the salad with half the lemon and oil. Serve with four cakes and chill the remainder for another day, tossing the remaining salad with the rest of the lemon and oil just before serving. Will keep, covered, for up to two days in the fridge. To reheat the cakes, cook on a baking tray at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 15-20 mins.

POTATO, FETA AND PARSLEY CAKES

Steps:

• Peel and dice the potatoes and boil until tender.
• Drain and return to the hot pot to steam dry for a minute.
• Mash thoroughly.
• Mash in the butter, then the egg.
• Mix in the feta cheese.
• Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley.
• Form into patties and dip in the flour.
• Fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides, approx 3-5 minutes.

HOT DRESSED SWEET POTATO, FENNEL & FETA PARCELS

Steps:

• Make a rough 30cm square double layer of foil. Tip the potato wedges and fennel into the middle and toss to mix together with 1 tsp orange juice and 1 tsp oil.
• Bring the foil up around the veg to make a bowl shape, then scrunch the top to seal. Put the foil parcels on the rack over the hottest part of the barbecue and cook for 35-45 mins until the potatoes are soft. (Unwrap and test with the point of a knife to check if they're ready.)
• Meanwhile, whisk together the last 2 tsp orange juice and oil with the vinegar, honey, parsley, walnuts and zest. Season. When the potato is cooked, carefully open the top of the parcel and pour in the dressing with most of the feta - the heat of the barbecue will bring out the flavours of the dressing and warm the feta. Gently mix in the parcel, then scatter with the remaining feta.

SPINACH POTATO AND FETA BAKE

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter a shallow 2-quart casserole dish.
• Squeeze out as much moisture from the spinach as possible with your hands; set aside.
• Drain the potatoes from the cold water and squeeze out any excess water with your hands, and place the potatoes into a large bowl.
• To the potatoes add in eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter, salt, pepper, chopped onion, parsley, garlic powder (if using) and dill; mix well to combine.
• Transfer HALF of the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Top/sprinkle with all of the spinach, and then the feta.
• Top/spread with remaining potato mixture.
• Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes.
• Uncover and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and dot with butter, place back in oven covered or uncovered (if you prefer a crispy top on your casserole then leave uncovered).
• Bake for another 30 minutes.
• Delicious.

POTATO & FETA BAKE WITH RADISH SLAW

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 20-25 mins or until tender. Towards the end of the cooking time, heat the grill to medium-hot.
• Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return to the pan. Use a fork to lightly crush them, then mix in 2 tbsp of the olive oil, the spring onions, parsley and just under half the feta. Season.
• Transfer to a small ovenproof dish and scatter with the remaining feta. Drizzle over the remaining oil and grill for 4 mins.
• Meanwhile, to make the slaw, mix the pepper, Chinese leaves and radishes in a bowl. In a smaller bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice and some seasoning, then drizzle over the slaw. Toss gently to combine and serve with the potato bake.
