A GREAT USE OF LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO AND OLD POTATOES!
- 1kg potatoes
- 100g flour
- 300g dried breadcrumbs
- 4 eggs
- 75g grated Parmesan cheese and 75g grated Pecorino cheese [ you can use most other cheeses but parmesan and pecorino work best]
- 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
- extra virgin olive oil for frying
- Unless you have pre-mashed, boil the potatoes till tender. Peel and then mash them.
- Using your hands, mix the mashed potatoes with the flour, half of the breadcrumbs, eggs, cheese, chopped parsley and a little bit of pepper and salt.
- Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large saucepan. Make croquettes that are oval and like a cylinder, and dredge them in the rest of the breadcrumbs. Cook them a few at a time in the hot oil until golden brown.
- Place the croquettes on a plate lined with kitchen roll to drain the excess oil. Serve the croquettes hot.
- And that's it ENJOY!
