Portion: Family

Components

  • 1 kg potatoes, peeled and cut into pieces
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 400 gr. various cheeses, grated
  • 4 tbsp. chopped parsley
  • 8 slices of turkey, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cube of vegetables
  • 1 pinch of nutmeg
  • Salt
  • Pepper 

For panning

  • 2 beaten eggs and diluted with 1 tbsp. milk or water
  • 200 g flour for all uses
  • 200 gr. toast ground
  • Sunflower oil for frying

Execution method

For the puree

  • Put the potatoes in a saucepan and add cold water, salt and vegetable broth.
  • Simmer for about 45 minutes, until well softened (they should be very soft).
  • Then, strain them, put them in a bowl and melt them either with a fork or with the puree tool.
  • Add the cheeses, yolks, parsley, nutmeg, salt and pepper to the bowl and knead very well.
  • Cover the mixture with cling film and put it in the fridge for 1-2 hours to tighten.
  • After it cools, shape the mixture into croquettes.

For panning

  • We get 3 separate bowls.
  • Put the flour in one.
  • In the second we put the egg mixture.
  • Put the toast in the third bowl.
  • We pass the croquettes first from the flour, then to the egg and finally to the toast.
  • Spread the croquettes on a plate and place them in the fridge for at least 1 hour or in the freezer for 15 minutes.

For frying

  • Heat a pan over high heat and pour the sunflower oil to a depth of 3 cm and let it burn.
  • Fry the croquettes until well browned and crusty.
  • Put them on absorbent paper to drain and serve hot.
