Potato Feta Cakes

The theme for Monday Posts in May is Potatoes.

Potatoes are a very misunderstood vegetable. Yes, they are a vegetable, plus they are healthy.

Potatoes have vitamins C and B6, potassium, copper, manganese and dietary fiber. They offer cardiovascular protection, have a potential for lowering blood pressure and have a variety of phytonutrients with antioxidant activity.

This month we are celebrating the the humble potato.

The easiest way to make these Potato Cakes is to plan ahead.

Either make enough mashed potatoes to have leftovers or boil potatoes a day ahead.

Sometimes I do that (one of the above).

Other times I just cut the potatoes into small chunks and boil them quickly while I get the rest of the meal started.

Either way I donโ€™t fuss โ€“ lumpy and with peels is fine.

  1. I love potato cakes in just about any iteration. Iโ€™m pretty picky about my feta though. It needs to be pretty mild for me. Iโ€™ve had some that will kick your socks off and thatโ€™s just too sharp for me.
