Stuffed Potato Croquettes

Crispy golden potato croquettes stuffed with a savory cheese and herb filling, perfect as an appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large (600g) russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk or cream
  • 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup (100g) breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Instructions

  1. Boil potatoes in salted water until tender (15-20 mins). Drain and mash with butter and milk until smooth.
  2. Stir in Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, mix mozzarella and parsley for the filling.
  4. Take a spoonful of mashed potatoes, flatten, add 1 tsp cheese filling, then shape into a cylinder or ball, sealing well.
  5. Roll each croquette in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  6. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown (2-3 mins per side). Drain on paper towels.
  7. Serve warm with dipping sauce (e.g., marinara or aioli).

Notes

  • For baking: Brush with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 mins, flipping halfway.
  • Freeze uncooked croquettes on a tray before transferring to a bag for later use.
  • Add cooked bacon or ham to the filling for extra flavor.
