The story behind this recipe
..Our versatile potato :)
Today I've prepared one of the hundreds of potato recipes, this one being among the slightly fiddly ones. As complicated as they may seem, potato croquettes are prepared in 30 minutes (after the potatoes have boiled and cooled).
For approximately 7 medium-sized croquettes, you need 5 medium red potatoes, a handful of grated Parmesan, 2 whole eggs, breadcrumbs as needed for the crust, and salt, pepper, nutmeg, and sunflower oil for frying.
For the filling, you need 7 sticks of mozzarella, about 200 grams.
Preparation:
Boil the potatoes, then peel them and grate them using the small holes of a grater. Let them cool and mix with salt, pepper, a pinch of nutmeg, and Parmesan.
Shape the croquettes as large or small as you like, and coat them in egg and breadcrumbs, twice (2x). At this point, if there are more than you want to eat, you can freeze them, thus preserving them for another time.
Good, now that they're ready, we fry them in oil, or if you want them healthier, you can make them in the oven.
Serve with salad, steak, sauce, or whatever you feel like.
Eat in good health!
