Ham and Cheese Croquettes

PREP TIME: 5min
COOK TIME: 10min
SERVES: 8 (2-inch) croquettes

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix the potatoes, 1/4 cup flour, cheese, and ham with a large rubber spatula until combined.
    Season with salt and pepper, to taste and divide the mixture into 8 equal portions.
  2. Rub your hands with a small amount of flour and form the portions into small flat disks about 1/2-inch thick.
    Use just enough flour to keep the potatoes from sticking to your hands, but do not coat them completely.
  3. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
    Shallow-fry the croquettes, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
  4. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-towel lined plate.
    Let the croquettes cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
  5. Cook’s Note: This recipe doubles easily if you have enough leftover potatoes.
