Instructions

Combine the cooled mashed potatoes, parmesan cheese, onion, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, and 1 of the eggs in a large bowl and mix till well combined.
Set up three shallow bowls: add the flour to one bowl, whisk the remaining 2 eggs in another bowl, and put the panko in the third bowl.
Form croquettes into balls and then dip each one first in flour, then in egg, then in the panko. Keeping one hand for the egg and the other hand for the flour and panko makes this process a lot neater. Place the breaded potato croquettes onto a baking sheet or plate.
Heat 2 inches of oil in a high-sided frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit. (See notes.) Working in batches, add the potato croquettes to the pot, making sure not to crowd the pan. Cook them, for 2 minutes, or until they are light brown.
Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet or a paper towel-lined plate to catch the drips. Continue to cook the remaining croquettes, making sure the oil returns to 350 degrees between batches.

Notes

Make sure the mashed potatoes are completely cold or you will have trouble forming the croquettes.
When you fry the potato croquettes, the oil will bubble up quite a bit. Make sure to use a high-sided pot so that the oil doesn't spill over.
