vegetarian with egg and dairy
a few recipes are vegan

Here's a wonderful food that you can make at home!

They're potato croquettes or "meatballs". Some are baked, some are and fried. In addition to potatoes, some additional base ingredients may include bread crumbs and/or flour. Some also add onions, And many will also add classic Greek herbs such as mint or parsley)

Traditionally, these also include cheeses! But if you prefer, there are also some vegan recipes that omit cheeses and egg. One adds soy cheese.

Here is are the Greek cheeses mentioned in the recipes, and substitutes you can use:

graviéra - alternative: gruyère, pecorino toscano, pecorino romano, asiago
kefalotýri - alernatives: pecorino romano, parmesan, or manchego
kefalograviéra - it's like halfway between kefalotýri and graviéra, so you can use any of the alternatives for those two cheeses
arsenikó - alternative: pecorino romano
féta

Now, traditionally, there are two regional versions. The Epirus version uses féta and the Cyclades version uses the hard cheeses, namely graviéra, kefalotýri, kefalograviéra, or arsenikó. Some of the recipes below are more of the féta Epirus type, while others are Cycladic recipes with hard cheeses. But some recipes also mix the two!

So browse through the recipes and see what appeals to you most. Also, have a look at the similar prasokeftédes (https://www.reddit.com/r/greekfood/comments/1qj...),* which are leeks croquettes.
