BEA'S MAC AND CHEESE CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop out portions of the mac and cheese from the casserole you made earlier. Roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1-1/2 inches in diameter, no larger than a golf ball. Dredge the balls in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Shake or tap the excess flour off the balls. Dip the balls into the egg then into the Panko. Place balls on parchment-lined sheet pan and refrigerate while making your dipping sauce. Refrigeration will set the crust. About 20 minutes before serving, heat the oil in a sauce pan or deep fryer until it reaches 375 degrees F. CAREFULLY drop the balls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Do not crowd the pan/fryer or balls will brown unevenly. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.

POTATO CHEESE CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Whisk 1 of the eggs in a medium bowl. Press the potatoes through a ricer into the bowl. Add the Parmesan, butter, chives, parsley, nutmeg, cayenne, salt, and black pepper, to taste. Mix gently with a rubber spatula until evenly combined. Using your hands, form the potato mixture into ovals a bit smaller than the size of an egg, and then flatten slightly. Press a cube of Gorgonzola into the center of the oval and pack the potato mixture around the cheese until it forms a smooth, egg-shaped ball. Continue until all the potato mixture is used up.
• Beat the remaining egg in a shallow plate. Put the breadcrumbs in another shallow dish and set it next to the egg. Roll a croquette in the egg until coated, then in the breadcrumbs, and place it on a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining croquettes. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
• Pour enough vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet to reach a depth of 1/4 inch. Heat the oil over medium heat, and fry the croquettes a few at a time, turning, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining croquettes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm.
