Ingredients
- 500 g potato Peeled, chopped
- 50 g butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 50 g Parmesan Cheese grated
- 50 g plain flour
- 3 egg Beaten
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- salt To taste
- black pepper To taste
- vegetable oil For frying
Instructions
- Boil the chopped potatoes in a pot of salted water until soft, then drain and mash them with a potato masher or fork.
- Mix in the butter, egg yolk, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Roll the mixture into small croquette shapes and place them on a plate or baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the croquettes for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
- In separate bowls, place the flour and breadcrumbs.
- Dip each potato croquette in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip in the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat in breadcrumbs.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to cover the croquettes.
- Once the oil is hot (around 180°C), add a few croquettes at a time and fry them until golden brown, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
- Remove the croquettes with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the potato croquettes hot as a side dish or snack
