Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Russet potatoes
- 150 grams Cooked ham, diced
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 150 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place them in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth and let them cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, diced ham, chopped green onions, olive oil, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard. Mix well.
Shape the mixture into small logs or balls, about 2 inches in diameter, and place them on a tray.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each potato and ham log first into the flour, shake off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure they are evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat to 180°C (350°F).
Fry the croquettes in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Remove the croquettes from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.
