Ingredients
- 500 grams Russet potatoes
- 150 grams Cooked ham, diced
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 150 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place them in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth and let them cool slightly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, diced ham, chopped green onions, olive oil, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard. Mix well.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into small logs or balls, about 2 inches in diameter, and place them on a tray.
Step 5
Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Step 6
Dip each potato and ham log first into the flour, shake off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat to 180°C (350°F).
Step 8
Fry the croquettes in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 9
Remove the croquettes from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 10
Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.
