Potato Croquettes

Potato Croquettes

The absolute best use of leftover mashed potatoes is to make potato croquettes. We bread and fry them, making them nice and crispy on the outside, but retaining the flavor and creaminess of the mashed potatoes on the inside. You can eat them like french fries, complete with ketchup on the side, or enjoy them on their own.(same recipe applies to leftover chicken) So we dont throw away ^_^ our left over chicken or beef!!!

Ingredients

• 1 cup mashed potatoes 
• 1 teaspoon fresh italian flat-leaf parsley
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon romano cheese 
• 1 cup seasoned,  bread crumbs
• to taste salt & black pepper
• 1/2  cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon water
• to fry olive oil or any other healthy cooking oil 

  Method: 

Mix  all the ingredients together except the oil.then roll them into cylinder form.

In a nonstick pan,  heat a 1/4-inch of olive oil. When hot, we add half the croquettes and panfry, turning a quarter turn when the bottom is brown. We continue to turn until all sides are browned, and then we drain on paper towels. We continue with the rest of the croquettes. When done, we place in the oven to keep warm until ready to enjoy!Bon Appettit !
