Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the mixture
In a large bowl, combine the diced ham, mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- 2
Add eggs and flour
Add the eggs and flour to the mixture. Stir until the mixture is well combined. It should be thick enough to hold its shape when formed into balls.
Forming the croquettes
- 3
Shape into balls
Using your hands, take a small amount of the mixture (about the size of a golf ball) and shape it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used.

Coat with breadcrumbs
Roll each ball in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
Frying
- 5
Heat the oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Fry the croquettes
Carefully place the breaded croquettes in the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown on all sides.

Drain and serve
Once cooked, remove the croquettes from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
