Potato Croquettes

Cheesy mashed potato balls rolled in breadcrumbs and baked until crisp and golden on the outside.

Substitute:

  • No potatoes? Try with sweet potato instead.
  • Vegan? Use vegan parmesan.
  • No paprika? Swap for cayenne pepper.

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 40 minutes

Total time: 60 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

For the potato mixture:

800 g Potatoes

5 tbsp Parmesan / vegan parmesan

1 tsp Ground nutmeg 

Salt & pepper

For the breadcrumbs:

60 g Panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp Paprika

3 tbsp Vegetable oil

Recipe:

  1. Cut the potatoes into quarters and preheat the oven to 200 C/180 fan/gas mark 6. 
  2. Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Use a fork to mash the potatoes and mix in the grated parmesan and nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
  4. Scoop up about 1 tbsp of the potato mixture and shape into a cylinder. If the mixture is too sticky, wet your finger with water to help shape into croquettes.
  5. In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and paprika and roll the potato croquettes in the mixture to coat. Lay them on a lined baking tray, then lightly brush each one with oil.
