Potato Croquettes
A great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. It works best if you can let the croquettes chill for an hour after forming.
leftover mashed potatoes
egg(s) (one per cup of mashed potatoes, roughly)
flour as needed
garlic and/or onion powder to taste (optional)
bread crumbs
Mix the egg(s), mashed potatoes, spices, and flour until the mixture is firm enough to handle gently. Pat them into a patty or roll them into a cylinder, roll in bread crumbs, then lay on a plate covered with wax paper. Refrigerate an hour if you have time.
Heat a thin layer of oil and fry the croquettes, about 5 minutes on each side. They should be browned and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
