Method

Preparation of Croquette Mixture

  1. 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. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth.

  3. 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. 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. 5

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Forming and Frying Croquettes

  1. 6

    Shape the Croquettes

    Once chilled, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls or cylindrical shapes.

  2. 7

    Prepare for Breading

    Beat the eggs in a shallow dish. Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.

  3. 8

    Coat the Croquettes

    Dip each croquette first into the beaten eggs, then roll them in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.

  4. 9

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  5. 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.

  6. 11

    Serve

    Serve warm with a sprinkle of salt and extra truffle oil if desired.
