Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and let them cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir for a couple of minutes until golden. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Add the cured ham (finely chopped), salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well and let it cool.

Forming and Frying

  1. 3

    Mash and Combine

    Mash the cooled potatoes and mix them with the ham mixture until well combined.

  2. 4

    Shape the Croquettes

    Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into small logs or balls.

  3. 5

    Breading

    Set up a breading station with beaten eggs in one bowl and breadcrumbs in another. Dip each shaped croquette in the egg, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat.

  4. 6

    Fry the Croquettes

    Heat the olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
