  • Boil the potatoes in salted water, then mash them.
  • Add the feta broken into small pieces, add the onion, dill, egg, lemon juice, salt (bear in mind the feta is naturally salty), and pepper. Mix well.

Looks delicious! I have a family of potato-lovers. In this heat, my daughters clamor for potato salad, which they call "du potato salad" because they first tasted it in the USA.
