Ham and Cheese Potato Croquettes
Whenever I have leftover potatoes, I love to make potato croquettes. This recipe has shredded cheese and ham in it, however, you can add anything you’d like to your croquettes.
Ingredients
4 russet potatoes
1 cup shredded cheese
1 cup finely cubed ham
2 cups flour
2-3 eggs
3-4 cups Panko bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1
Either bake and peel the Russet potatoes or peel, cube and boil the potatoes until they are tender. Mash the potatoes and let them cool off.
2
To the cooled mashed potatoes, add the shredded cheese and cubed ham. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3
Heat about 4-6 inches of oil to 350 degree’s.
4
In 3 large bowls, add the flour to one bowl, eggs (whisk them together) to another and the Panko bread crumbs to the third bowl.
5
Mix the mashed potato mixture together until well blended. Shape into small patties that resemble “hash brown” patties.
6
Dredge the freshly made croquettes in the flour, dip in the eggs and coat with the Panko bread crumbs. Deep fry until they are golden brown.
7
Serve the croquettes with your favorite sides, I like to serve finely shredded cabbage (dressed with a ginger dressing) and sliced tomatoes with my croquettes. Enjoy!
