How to make croquettes potato? Prepare the ingredients. For potato croquettes, we'll need: 500g potatoes; 1 egg; 20g butter; 1 tbsp. l salt; 1 tsp paprika; black ground pepper.

Peel and dice the potatoes.

Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil and cook in salted water over medium heat until tender.

Then drain the water.

Mash the potatoes in the mash with a pusher.

Add a slice of butter and stir.

Cool the mass to room temperature.

Drive the egg into the mashed potatoes. Add the paprika and pepper. If the potatoes are unsalted after cooking, add salt.

Mix the mass thoroughly.

For breading, you will need: 75g breadcrumbs; 50g flour; 1 large egg. And about 300ml of vegetable oil to deep fry croquettes.

Whisk the egg until smooth.

Roll small walnut-sized balls from mashed potatoes. Roll each ball first in flour.

Then dip in the beaten egg and plan in the breadcrumbs. It is necessary to bread in crackers very carefully so that not a single free area remains.

In a saucepan, preheat the vegetable oil to a boil. By the way, it is better to use not very wide, but deep containers for frying. After all, croquettes should directly swim in oil and be evenly fried on all sides.

Lower a few croquettes into the boiling oil and deep-fry until golden. Initially, the potato balls will sink to the bottom, but as they are ready, they will surface.

Transfer the finished croquettes with a spoon onto a napkin to stack the excess fat.

Serve the croquettes better hot. Enjoy your meal!
