Yield Makes 25

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slices white bread, crusts removed
2 cups cold leftover mashed potatoes
6 tablespoons chopped mixed herbs, such as flat-leaf parsley, cilantro, or chives
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups vegetable oil

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.

These were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.

These were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would use less oil next time, or maybe even bake them instead of frying them.

I was disappointed with these croquettes. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

These croquettes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more herbs and spices to the mashed potatoes before frying them next time.

These were delicious! I made them for dinner last night and my family loved them. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to the mashed potatoes before frying them.

These croquettes were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I used leftover mashed potatoes, so they were a great way to use up leftovers.
