Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Smoked ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with butter, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly so they are easier to handle.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take about 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes and flatten it into a disc in your hand. Place a slice of ham folded in half and a slice of Swiss cheese folded in half onto the disc.
Carefully wrap the mashed potatoes around the ham and cheese, forming a ball. Make sure the ham and cheese are completely enclosed. Repeat with the remaining mashed potatoes, ham, and cheese.
Prepare a breading station: place the flour in one shallow bowl, whisk the eggs in a second bowl, and place the bread crumbs in a third bowl.
Roll each potato ball in the flour, then dip it in the egg wash, and coat it with bread crumbs. Place each breaded ball on the prepared baking sheet.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry each potato ball for about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer back to the baking sheet.
Bake the potato balls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until they are heated through and the cheese inside has melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, creamy, and cheesy Potatoes Cordon Bleu!
