Ingredients
- 6 medium white potatoes peeled
- 1 tablespoon salt
- ¼ cup fresh parsley minced
- ¼ cup Dill minced
- ¼ cup green onions sliced
- ½ cup feta cheese
- ¼ cup salted butter
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- *3 tablespoon milk if needed
Instructions
- Peel, chop, and rinse potatoes. Fill water to just above the potatoes and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft enough to fall apart when a knife is inserted in them.
- Drain potatoes, and add ¼ cup butter to the pot the potatoes were boiling in. Add the potatoes back to the pot then add fresh parsley, dill, and green onions followed by feta cheese. Place a lid on top of the potatoes and let them sit for 5 minutes.
- Add black pepper to the potatoes and mash using a potato masher. Add milk if needed (one tablespoon at a time or until moist). Top with more fresh herbs and butter and serve immediately.

Notes
- Potatoes - I recommend using Yukon potatoes and not red potatoes (as pictured above). Since taking this photo I've tested the recipe a few more times and found that the Yukon potatoes yield a better and smoother texture for this mashed potato dish.
- Herbs - Fresh herbs are best for this recipe.
- Chopping - Always chop your potatoes evenly so that they cook evenly.
