Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams parsnips
- 200 grams potatoes
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 50 ml heavy cream
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 500 ml vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the parsnips and potatoes. Cut them into chunks and boil them in a large pot of salted water for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
Drain the cooked parsnips and potatoes, then return them to the pot. Add the butter and mash until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Using your hands, shape the cooled mixture into small cylindrical croquettes, about 5-6 cm long. Chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Set up a breading station: place the flour on one plate, beat the eggs in a shallow bowl, and spread the breadcrumbs on another plate.
Roll each croquette in the flour, dip it into the egg, and coat completely in breadcrumbs. Repeat for all croquettes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 180°C (350°F). Fry the croquettes in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the croquettes with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish, with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
