Potato and Cheese Fritters
Heavenly on a meze platter, these delicate potato fritters pair very well with a glass of wine or ouzo. Potatoes have ample starch in them, but I like to add an egg as well for extra structure and stability, and to add moisture.
You can vary the herbs to suit your tastes; these are simply the ones that I enjoy.

Pour about 4–5 cm (1 1⁄2–2 in) of olive oil into a deep frying pan and warm over a medium heat. To check that the oil is hot enough for frying, simply drop a little of the mixture into the oil. If it immediately starts to bubble, the oil is ready.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out a walnut-sized amount of mixture and carefully place in the hot oil. Cook a few at a time but do not overcrowd or the oil will cool and the fritters will braise and not fry.
Turn the fritters so they are golden all over, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on some paper towel to drain.
