Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups mashed potatoes (preferably leftover or refrigerated)
- 2 large eggs, whisked in separate bowls
- 1 cup roast turkey, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Monterrey jack, mozzarella, or cheddar)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (white, whole wheat or gluten free)
- olive, vegetable or canola oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Stir the mashed potatoes and 1 whisked egg in a bowl until combined and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chopped turkey and shredded cheese stirring to combine.
- Take 2 teaspoons of the turkey cheese mixture and form into 1 inch balls. You want to roll them tight so the turkey and cheese bind together.
- Take 2 tablespoons of the potato egg mixture and form a patty in the palm of your hand, place a turkey cheese ball in the center and fold the potato mixture around the turkey cheese ball to make a larger ball.
- Place the second whisked egg in a bowl and the breadcrumbs in a seperate bowl.
- Roll each potato croquette gently into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs covering them completely.
- Add the oil to a heavy bottomed pot over medium/high heat. The oil is hot enough if you put a few leftover breadcrumbs in and they sizzle immediately.
- Add the croquettes to oil and fry for about 60 seconds, turning occasionally, until the outside is crispy. (Alternatively, you can bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.)
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the croquettes to the paper towel-lined plate and immediately season them with salt.
- Serve with gravy or cranberry sauce.
Notes
- Firm hand: Make sure you roll the potatoes tightly around the filling so nothing leaks out.
- Work in order: Do each step completely with all ingredients - this way when you are ready to fry everything is good to go!
- Cold Potatoes: If your potatoes are fresh and warm, it'll be much harder to work with. Make sure the mashed potatoes are chilled.
- Arm workout: Shred your own cheese for best flavor and melting into the filling.
