Recipe for potato croquettes
At our home, we love to make large portions at once. Double portions do not take correspondingly longer to prepare.
At the same time, we really dislike food waste, so nothing gets thrown in the trash at our place.
If you’ve cooked a bit too many potatoes or have a large amount of leftover mashed potatoes from dinner, then you should try making potato croquettes. Potato croquettes are a really nice alternative to plain potatoes if you’re looking for something new to serve as a side dish at the dinner table.

Potato Croquettes
Delicious, golden, and crispy! Easy side dish for everyday meals. A wonderful alternative to regular potatoes. Tastes fantastic with all fried meats!
Equipment
- Potato Peeler
- Pot
- Hob
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- Deep fryer
Ingredients
- 1 kg Potato
- 42.6 gram Butter
- 2 pcs. Egg
- Salt
- White pepper
- Nutmeg
- Wheat Flour
- 1 pcs. egg white
- Grate I used panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Start by peeling the potatoes.
- Boil them until tender. Do not add salt to the boiling water.
- Drain the potatoes and mash them.
- Add butter and eggs, and mix everything together.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt, white pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs in a dish and transfer the mash into the dish.
- Place the dish in the freezer for a couple of hours or in the refrigerator. It can easily stay in the freezer until the next day.
- Turn the chilled mash out onto a cutting board and cut into sticks.
- Coat them in flour followed by lightly beaten egg whites.
- Then roll the sticks in breadcrumbs. After that, I put them back in the freezer for another hour to ensure they were firm.
- Fry the croquettes in the deep fryer at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit). Remember to only add 3-4 croquettes at a time since the oil temperature drops drastically when the very cold croquettes are added.
- Remove the croquettes when they are golden and crispy.
- Place them on paper towels and sprinkle salt on top.
- Enjoy.
