Croquette Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mashed potatoes, chopped serrano ham, grated manchego cheese, salt, pepper, and 1 egg. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Croquettes

    Take a small amount of the mixture and shape it into a small cylinder or oval. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Frying

    In a shallow bowl, beat the remaining egg. Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip each croquette first in the beaten egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat.

  5. 5

    Fry the Croquettes

    Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
