FAQ
In this recipe, potato croquettes are in their simplest form: just mashed potatoes seasoned with parsley, bound together with flour and egg, rolled in breadcrumbs, and fried. They're a real crowd-pleaser that can be served as an appetizer, finger food, snack, or side dish.
As long as they're chilled and not too runny, you can use any type of leftover mashed potatoes, whether it's a plain mash or one made with butter and cream. Adding flour to the filling also prevents them from falling apart. Our recipe uses three tablespoons, which is just enough to help hold them together.
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and mash them in a bowl with a potato masher. Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, flour, cheese, parsley and salt to taste.
They make a great addition to a meal as an appetizer served with a little yogurt or sour cream dip, or they can even be a delicious supplement to the main event when served with a substantial salad and a protein.
France. France. The ragout-filled dish was regarded as a French delicacy. It was first described in a recipe from 1691 by the chef of the French king Louis XIV, using ingredients such as truffles, sweetbreads, and cream cheese. From the 1800s onward, it became a way to use leftover stewed meat.
