Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks.
Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
Stir in the butter, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well until creamy.
Allow the mashed potatoes to cool to room temperature, then mix in the Parmesan cheese.
Take about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and form it into a small cylinder shape. Repeat with the rest of the mixture to make more croquettes.
Place the flour in a shallow dish. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
Coat each potato cylinder first in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the croquettes in batches for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the croquettes with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
Serve hot and enjoy!
