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.
