Boil potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain and let potatoes cool slightly before peeling.

Mash the potatoes in a large bowl until smooth.

Finely chop onion and parsley, then add to the mashed potatoes.

Mix in egg, cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic until well combined.

Form the mixture into small balls or patties.

Roll each ball in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and coat with bread crumbs.

Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the potato balls in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with lemon juice or yogurt dip.
