How to Make Potato Croquettes

  1. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Shape the potato mixture into small, oval-shaped croquettes (about 2 inches long).
  3. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
  4. Roll each croquette in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
  5. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Carefully place the croquettes in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider serving with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup or aioli.
