Preparation of Ingredients
Mash the Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps.
Form and Fry the Croquettes
Shape the Croquettes
With your hands, take a small amount of the potato mixture and form it into a cylindrical shape, about 2 inches long. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Prepare for Frying
Set up a dredging station with a plate of breadcrumbs. Roll each shaped croquette in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
Fry the Croquettes
Carefully add the croquettes to the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serving
Serve Warm
Arrange the fried croquettes on a serving platter. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
