French · Appetizer · 30 min total

Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, these potato croquettes are a delightful snack or side dish. Made with mashed potatoes, cheese, and herbs, they are easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes (about 1 lb), peeled and cubed
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Place potatoes in a pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
2. In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, Parmesan, mozzarella, parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well. Let cool slightly.
3. Shape the mixture into 12 small cylinders or oval shapes.
4. Set up a breading station: flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
5. Coat each croquette in flour, then dip in egg, and roll in breadcrumbs. Press gently to adhere.
6. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
7. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips

• Chill the shaped croquettes for 15 minutes before breading to help them hold their shape.
• These can be baked at 400°F for 15-20 minutes for a lighter version.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven.
