Crispy Potato Croquettes
These homemade Potato Croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They’re perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
3 cups mashed potatoes
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
1 cup bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 200°F (95°C).
In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Shape the potato mixture into small balls.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water. In another dish, place the bread crumbs.
Dip each potato ball in the egg mixture, then coat in the bread crumbs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the potato croquettes in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Remove the croquettes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Keep the cooked croquettes warm in the oven while you fry the rest.
Serve the croquettes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or marinara sauce.
Tips:
You can add other ingredients to the potato mixture, such as chopped ham, bacon, or spinach.
You can also bake the croquettes in the oven instead of frying them. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve the croquettes with a side of salad or vegetables for a complete meal.
