Ingredients
6 potatoes (800 g)
1/2 cup of starch (100 g)
Grated cheddar cheese (150 g)
1 pinch of parsley
1 teaspoon of salt (8 g)
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
Vegetable oil (for frying).
Preparation of Potato Croquettes
Peel and Cut Potatoes: Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into cubes.
Boil Potatoes: Place the potato cubes in a pot, cover them with water, and boil until they are soft.
Mash Potatoes: Drain the water and transfer the boiled potatoes to a large bowl. Mash them until they reach a smooth, puree-like consistency.
Add Ingredients: To the mashed potatoes, add starch, grated cheddar cheese, salt, and parsley. Mix everything well until fully combined.
4. Shaping the Croquettes
Grease Hands: Grease your hands with oil to prevent sticking.
Shape Croquettes: Take portions of the potato mixture and shape them into croquettes, forming them into oval or cylindrical shapes.
5. Coating and Frying
Coat with Egg and Breadcrumbs: Dip each croquette first in beaten egg, then coat it evenly with breadcrumbs.
Fry Croquettes: Heat vegetable oil in a pan and fry the croquettes until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
6. Serving the Croquettes
Once the croquettes are fried to perfection, serve them hot and crispy. They can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or side dish alongside your favorite dipping sauce or condiment.
