Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 100 grams Pancetta
- 75 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and boil over medium-high heat until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely dice the pancetta and cook it in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy. Set aside on a paper towel to drain any excess fat.
Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them in a large mixing bowl. Add the crispy pancetta, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
Shape the potato mixture into small logs or rounds, about 2 inches in length or diameter. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl and place the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.
Dip each croquette first into the beaten eggs and then coat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set them aside on a tray.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the croquettes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Remove the croquettes from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
