Potato and Cheese Croquettes

Cooking Instructions

Mix the potato with the cheese. Beat in the egg yolk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Shape the mixture into 16 croquettes.

Spread out the flour on a plate. Put the beaten egg on another shallow plate. Mix together the bread crumbs and parmesan on another plate. Roll the croquettes in the flour, dip them in the beaten egg and coat them thoroughly in the bread crumb mixture. Arrange in a single layer on a plate and chill until ready to cook.

Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet and fry the croquettes, in batches, over a medium heat for about 5 to 10 minutes, turning constantly so they cook evenly. When the croquettes are golden brown and crisp, remove them from the pan and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot.
