1

Start by boiling the potatoes in salted water for about 20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Once cooked, drain and let them cool slightly.

2

Peel the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth without any lumps.

3

Add the eggs, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes and mix well until combined.

4

Shape the mixture into small oval or round croquettes, about 1-2 inches each.

5

Coat each croquette in bread crumbs evenly.

6

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, gently add the croquettes in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.

7

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

8

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them plain.

• Add finely chopped herbs like parsley or basil to the potato mixture for added flavor.
• Incorporate different cheeses like mozzarella or fontina for a gooey center.
• Serve with a spicy marinara sauce for a delightful twist.

• For a perfect texture, ensure the potatoes have cooled down before mashing.
• Don’t skip the breading step as it gives a delightful crunch on the outside.
• Keep the heat medium while frying to prevent burning the croquettes.
