ingredients
- 2 pound mashed potatoes
- salt to taste
- 3 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 3 tbsp self raising flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 4 ounces Colby jack cubes
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- oil for frying
Method
Step 1
In a large bowl combine mashed potatoes, black pepper, salt, chopped parsley, 1 egg, flour and Parmesan. Mix together.
Step 2
Use a large spoon to take portions of the mixture. Flatten the ball and put in one cheese cube in the middle. Cover the ball with the potato mixture so the cheese is completely covered. Shape it into a log. Repeat for the rest of the mixture till all are done.
Step 3
Make three work stations- one for flour, one for 3 eggs beaten and another for Panko breadcrumbs. Roll each croquette in the flour, dip in egg and then roll in Panko breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Heat oil. Keep heat to medium. Fry the croquettes till golden on all sides. Drain on a paper towel. Notes: I did the mashed potatoes the day before but you could do it on the day. Store bought mashed potatoes work too.
