Method
For the Croquettes
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and boil the Russet potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Mash and Mix
Mash the cooked potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add grated Parmesan cheese, flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the Croquettes
Shape the potato mixture into small balls or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
Roll each croquette in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Fry the Croquettes
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
For the Smoked Aioli
Mix Ingredients
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, smoked paprika, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Chill
Refrigerate the aioli for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
