Potato croquettes are a savory treat made from mashed potatoes mixed with ingredients like butter, salt, pepper, and sometimes cheese, herbs, or green onions, shaped into small cylinders or ovals, then breaded and fried to golden perfection. Originating from French cuisine, they are a popular snack or side dish across many cultures. While potato croquettes offer a comforting dose of carbohydrates and can include nutrient-rich fillings like vegetables or protein, they are typically fried, which adds fats and increases calorie content. Baking or air-frying can be healthier alternatives, reducing the overall fat content. Rich in potassium from the potatoes, this dish provides energy but should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The use of fresh, whole ingredients can enhance their nutritional value while minimizing harmful additives.
