1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and dice the russet potatoes, then boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
2
Mix the Filling
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked sausage, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3
Form the Croquettes
Using your hands, take a portion of the mixture and shape it into small logs or balls. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped.
4
Prepare for Frying
Set up a breading station with the flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Dip each croquette in flour, then egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
5
Fry the Croquettes
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
