Croquettas Recipe

Croquettas Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

2. 2

   Mash and Mix

   In a mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. Stir in the provolone cheese, diced prosciutto, cayenne pepper, chopped scallions, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

3. 3

   Form the Croquettas

   Take small portions of the potato mixture and form them into oval-shaped balls or patties.

4. 4

   Prepare for Frying

   Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each croqueta in flour, dip in the egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs.

5. 5

   Fry the Croquettas

   In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the croquettas in batches, frying until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the croquettas hot with your choice of dipping sauce or scallion cream.
