Ingredients
For the Croquettes
For Frying
Preparation of Croquette Mixture
1. Boil the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
2. Mash the Potatoes
In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth.
3. Prepare the Mixture
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the all-purpose flour and stir for about 2 minutes until it forms a roux. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
4. Combine Ingredients
Add the thickened mixture to the mashed potatoes. Stir in the cheese, truffle oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
5. Chill the Mixture
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Forming and Frying Croquettes
6. Shape the Croquettes
Once chilled, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls or cylindrical shapes.
7. Prepare for Breading
Beat the eggs in a shallow dish. Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
8. Coat the Croquettes
Dip each croquette first into the beaten eggs, then roll them in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
9. Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
10. Fry the Croquettes
Carefully add the croquettes to the hot oil in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
11. Serve
Serve warm with a sprinkle of salt and extra truffle oil if desired.
