Potato Croquettes Recipe

Step 1

Scrub potatoes well and remove any eyes and peel them. Chop them in a cubic manner in bite-size. Place the potatoes in a pot filled with water and a pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes uncovered.

Step 2

Chop the ham and chives finely.

Step 3

Mash the potatoes with a fork or a masher in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and turmeric to the mashed potatoes. Then mix the ingredients well until they are combined.

Step 5

Wet the palm of your hand, take a piece of the mashed potatoes, flatten it in your hand, and make a hole in it.

Step 6

Place a sprinkle of mozzarella, chopped ham, and chopped chives and close it to make a small ball or a cone shape.

Step 7

Crack the egg into a large mixing bowl. Then whisk it with a fork until well blended. Pour the bread crumbs into a second container.

Step 8

Now sit the potato croquettes in the egg. Roll them in the egg and then toss them to coat in the bread crumbs.

Step 9

Place the potato croquettes in a tray and freeze them for an hour. This will help them to firm up and not collapse when frying.

Step 10

Then fill 3 centimeters of a pot with oil and put it on heat. You should heat the oil to 175 Celsius or 350 Fahrenheit degree. You can check the temperature by placing a chopstick on the oil, and if it fizzes up after about 5 to 10 seconds, the heat is good.

Step 11

Sauté the croquettes for about 5 minutes until they are nicely golden brown and crispy on both sides. Then put them on a rack so they can drain the excess oil. There you have it. You can garnish them with some parsley leaves and serve them with your desired sauce. Enjoy your meal!
