Crispy Potato Croquettes

Ingredients

• 6 large potatoes (Boiled and mashed; the method specifies peeling, slicing into 1-inch slices, and steaming until soft.)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (For the filling.)
• 3 tbsp corn flour
• salt (To taste.)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 0.333 cup green onion (Finely chopped.)
• oil (For frying; amount not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1-inch slices.

2. 2

   Place the potato slices in a shallow bowl and steam for 20 minutes, or until soft.

3. 3

   Smash the steamed potatoes until smooth.

4. 4

   Add the corn flour, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and finely chopped green onion. Mix until thoroughly combined.

5. 5

   Take 2 tablespoons of the potato dough and roll it into a ball.

6. 6

   Form a dent in the center of the ball, add shredded mozzarella cheese, and use your thumb to press the filling down while wrapping the potato mixture around it.

7. 7

   Once the filling is fully enclosed, roll the croquette until it forms a ball again.

8. 8

   Add oil to a pan and heat over medium-high heat.

9. 9

   Once the oil is hot, add the potato croquettes and lightly press them down to flatten.

10. 10

    Fry for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on the croquettes to ensure the cheese does not burst out.

Notes

The ingredient list describes the potatoes as boiled and mashed, while the method instructs steaming sliced potatoes for 20 minutes; follow the detailed method as written. The amount of frying oil and the approximate number of croquettes are not specified.
