Ingredients

• 500 grams Potatoes
• 150 grams Cheddar cheese
• 100 grams Mozzarella cheese
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 200 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.

Step 2

Grate the cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese, then mix them into the mashed potatoes.

Step 3

Season the potato mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix thoroughly and allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

Shape the mashed potato mixture into small cylinders or balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Step 5

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Roll each croquette in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all croquettes.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 180°C (350°F).

Step 8

Fry the croquettes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the croquettes from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 10

Serve the croquettes warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara or garlic aioli.
