  • 3 Tbl flour
  • 4 cups potatoes mashed
  • 1 egg beaten
  • bread crumbs sifted
  • salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add milk, salt, pepper, chopped onion, beaten egg yolks and flour to mashed potatoes.
  2. Chill and then shape using an ice cream scoop.
  3. Dip in the beaten egg, then roll through bread crumbs.

RECIPE NOTES

Cook in small batches, giving each croquette at least 2 inches of space around it to not overcrowd the pan. This prevents the croquettes from crumbling while frying.
