Name: Mini Cheese Croquettes
Prep time: 40 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 55 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 500 g potatoes (starchy type); 30 g butter; 50 ml full-fat milk; 150 g grated cheese (e.g., Emmental, Gouda); 5 g salt; 1 g ground black pepper; null pinch ground nutmeg; 100 g all-purpose flour; 2 pcs large eggs; 150 g breadcrumbs; 500 ml vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps

Prepare Potatoes

Peel the potatoes, cut them into larger pieces, then boil them in salted water until tender (approx. 20-25 minutes). Drain them and mash them while still warm with a potato masher or fork. Add the butter, milk, grated cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly until you get a smooth purée. Let it cool completely; this is crucial for shaping.

Shape and Bread

From the cooled potato mixture, form small, uniformly sized croquettes (cylindrical or spherical). Prepare three plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Roll each croquette first in flour, then in egg, and finally in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating everywhere.

Fry Croquettes

In a deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 170-180°C (340-350°F). Fry the croquettes in small batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
