Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

Boil peeled potatoes until tender. Mash them until smooth, without adding any milk or butter.

Mix Ingredients

To the mashed potatoes, add grated cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar), finely chopped ham (optional), salt, and spices to taste. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Shape and Bread

Form the mixture into small, oval shapes. Dip each croquette first in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

Fry Croquettes

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit). Fry the croquettes until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
