Ingredients:
- 1 package (2 pounds) refrigerated mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup bacon bits
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and bacon bits. Mix well.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Shape the potato mixture into 12-15 croquettes.
- In a shallow dish, beat the egg. Dip each croquette into the egg and then roll in breadcrumbs.
- Heat a large skillet with 1/4 inch vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Carefully place the croquettes in the heated oil and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain the croquettes on paper towels and serve immediately.
Suggestions for Improvement:
- Use freshly mashed potatoes: For a richer flavor and texture, mash your own potatoes instead of using refrigerated mashed potatoes.
- Add additional seasonings: Experiment with other herbs and spices such as thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder to enhance the flavor.
- Use a mixture of bread crumbs: For extra crunch, combine coarse and fine bread crumbs.
- Add a dipping sauce: Serve the croquettes with a dipping sauce such as sour cream, ketchup, or barbecue sauce.
- Top with melted cheese: Before serving, sprinkle the croquettes with grated Parmesan cheese and place under a broiler or in a preheated oven to melt.
- Fill the croquettes: Instead of making plain croquettes, fill them with cheese, bacon, or vegetables for an extra layer of flavor.
- Create variations: Try using different types of potatoes such as sweet potatoes, russet potatoes, or red potatoes. You can also add diced onions, carrots, or bell peppers to the mixture.
