Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes, cut them into large chunks, and boil them in a pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and mash them until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.
Mix the mashed potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese, egg yolks, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.
Shape the potato mixture into small logs or cylindrical croquettes, about 2 inches long.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and add the breadcrumbs to the third bowl.
Dredge each croquette in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and roll it in breadcrumbs until fully coated. Repeat for all croquettes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the croquettes in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Transfer the fried croquettes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Potato Croquettes with Parmesan!
