- 2 tablespoons milk (30 ml)
- Salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper (2.5 g)
- ½ teaspoon chopped green onion (2.5 g)
- 2 egg yolks, beaten
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour (75 g)
- 4 cups mashed potatoes (900 g)
- 1 egg
- Sifted dried breadcrumbs
- Oil, enough to fill pan ½-inch
- In a large mixing bowl, stir in milk with salt, pepper, chopped onions, egg yolks, flour and mashed potatoes. Beat thoroughly until well mixed.
- Refrigerate to chill for 15 minutes.
- Beat one egg in another mixing bowl.
- Take out from the refrigerator, spoon and shape using an ice cream scoop. (Skip this step if you are using left-over mashed potatoes that have already been in the fridge).
- Immerse each scoop of potato mixture into the beaten egg, and then roll through bread crumbs.
- In a large skillet/frying pan, fry each potato croquette in shallow oil until brown on all sides.
- Cook in small batches, giving each croquette at least 2 inches of space around it to avoid overcrowding the pan. This prevents the croquettes from crumbling while frying.
- Serve and enjoy!
