Potato Croquettes INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 cups mashed potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons imitation bacon bits
  • 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
  • 1 cup Italian-style dried bread crumbs
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for deep frying

Potato Croquettes DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, eggs, parsley, cheese, salt and pepper, bacon bits and onion flakes. Form mixture into patties, and dredge patties in the bread crumbs.
  2. Pour oil 1/2 inch deep in a large, heavy skillet. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry patties, flipping to fry them on both sides, until they are golden brown. Serve hot.


Editor's Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
