Easy and Crispy Potato Croquettes

Boil the peeled potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Mash the potatoes until smooth, then mix in salt, cornstarch, and optional seasonings like black pepper and garlic powder.

Shape the Croquettes:

Take a small portion of the mashed potatoes and roll it into a small cylinder or ball shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Coat the Croquettes:

Dip each croquette into the beaten eggs, ensuring an even coat.

Roll in breadcrumbs until fully covered.

Fry Until Golden:

Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the croquettes in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.

Remove and drain on a paper towel.

Serve & Enjoy:

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like garlic aioli, ketchup, or spicy mayo.
