Potato Croquettes
This is a delicious 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.
