Crispy Chicken and Potato Croquettes

Prepare the Potatoes:
Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are soft. Drain and mash them, then set aside to cool.

Cook the Onions and Garlic:
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Mix the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded chicken, grated cheese, cooked onions and garlic, parsley, paprika (if using), and salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

Shape the Croquettes:
Take a portion of the mixture and roll it into small oval or cylindrical shapes. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Coat the Croquettes:
Dip each croquette into the beaten egg, making sure it’s fully coated, then roll it in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated.

Fry the Croquettes:
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the croquettes into the oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary.

Drain and Serve:
Remove the croquettes from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
