      SUPER EASY POTATO CROQUETTES!
               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

  1. Unless you have pre-mashed, boil the potatoes till tender. Peel and then mash them.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Place the croquettes on a plate lined with kitchen roll to drain the excess oil. Serve the croquettes hot.
  5. And that's it ENJOY!
    1. Tip:

      Peel the hot potatoes by holding them with a fork and then peeling them with a knife
