Best 6 Fried Mashed Potato Croquettes Recipes

POTATO CROQUETTES (CRISPY DEEP FRIED MASHED POTATOES!)

Steps:

• Mix the mashed potatoes, egg, parsley, salt and pepper until well combined.
• Place the flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs in three separate trays or bowls.
• Take a handful of potato mixture, shaping into a log shape or ball, and dip into flour, then egg and then breadcrumbs; repeat (yes, do it twice, it's worth it!) I love these stainless steel trays for dipping.
• Place on a plate or tray (dusted with cornmeal or breadcrumbs) and refrigerate for about an hour.
• When ready to cook/eat, heat some grape seed or peanut oil in a small pot, over medium high heat, so that the croquettes may be deep fried.
• Fry two or three at a time, depending on how many fit, carefully turning (with tongs) once, until evenly browned. Remove, and place on towel-lined plate to cool a little.
• Continue with the rest of the potato mixture until it is all finished. You can keep the first ones hot in the oven, until the rest are done. Serve hot, on their own with HP Sauce, or as a side.

POTATO CROQUETTES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together mashed potatoes and parsley; season with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, place flour; season with salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water. In a third shallow bowl, place 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.
• Form potato mixture into 3/4-by-2-inch logs. Roll in flour, shaking off excess, dip in egg wash, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat. In a heavy medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil over medium-high until hot. In batches, fry croquettes until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per batch, turing as needed. Drain on paper towels.

• Combine mashed potatoes, 1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs, eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese, pecorino cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix by hand until smooth. Scoop up 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mixture; shape into an oval, cylindrical croquette. Repeat with remaining mixture.
• Pour remaining 1 1/4 cups bread crumbs into a shallow plate. Dredge croquettes in the bread crumbs.
• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Fry croquettes in the hot oil in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side, turning as needed. Drain on paper towels.

FRIED MASHED POTATO CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Place bread in the bowl of a food processor. Process until crumbs form, about 10 seconds. Transfer crumbs to a medium bowl; set aside. Line one baking sheet with parchment, and another one with a double thickness of paper towels; set both aside.
• In a small bowl, combine potatoes, herbs, egg, and flour using a fork or spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Using a spoon, scoop mixture into an egg-shaped piece. Using a second spoon, push shape into the bowl of bread crumbs. Roll to coat, and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
• Place oil in a small deep saucepan. Heat over medium heat until a frying thermometer registers 350 degrees. Using slotted spoon, place five croquettes in oil. Cook until golden and puffed, turning once, 4 to 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining croquettes. Serve immediately.
