Variations
Cheesy Croquettes: Add grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) to the potato mixture for a gooey center.

Spicy Kick: Add a dash of paprika or cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb coating.

FAQ
Can I bake or air-fry these instead of deep-frying?
Yes! Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway. For the air fryer, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Shape and coat the croquettes, then freeze them. Fry directly from frozen (add an extra minute to the cooking time).

Why are my croquettes falling apart?
Ensure the potato mixture is not too wet—let it cool before shaping, and adjust with extra cornstarch if needed.

These Easy and Crispy Potato Croquettes are a delicious, satisfying treat perfect for any occasion! Enjoy them hot and crunchy!
