Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 150 grams Cheddar cheese
- 100 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 200 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
Grate the cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese, then mix them into the mashed potatoes.
Season the potato mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly and allow to cool slightly.
Shape the mashed potato mixture into small cylinders or balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs.
Roll each croquette in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all croquettes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 180°C (350°F).
Fry the croquettes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Remove the croquettes from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the croquettes warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara or garlic aioli.
