Greek dumplings with feta, dill and potatoes (traditional method & Thermomix) and potatoes (traditional & Thermomix)
Description
Light, fragrant, golden - irresistible I love these little patties as a light lunch or as a starter at a friendly dinner party with friends. Fried, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside - they combine melting potatoes, salted feta, fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon. A real nod to Greek cuisine, to be enjoyed with or without a white BBQ sauce.
