Peel and dice russet potatoes. Place them in a large saucepan, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan. Add the unsalted butter and mash until smooth.
Mix in the shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Once cooled, beat one of the eggs in a small bowl and add it to the potato mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Shape the potato mixture into small, cylindrical logs, about 3 inches long.
Set up a breading station with three plates or shallow bowls. Place white rice flour in the first, beat the remaining egg in the second, and put gluten-free breadcrumbs in the third.
Roll each croquette first in white rice flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally coat with gluten-free breadcrumbs. Repeat until all croquettes are coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C).
Fry the croquettes in batches, carefully lowering them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Remove the croquettes with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve the gluten-free potato croquettes hot, optionally with a dipping sauce of your choice.
