How to Make Patatokeftedes Potato Croquettes

  1. Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain well and mash thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, parsley, dill, red onion, eggs, flour, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Shape the potato mixture into small patties or croquettes (about 2 inches in diameter).
  4. Roll each croquette in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Carefully place the croquettes in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Fry the croquettes for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy! These are delicious on their own or with a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
