These cheese-stuffed potato croquettes are a simple dish made with boiled potatoes and a slice of cheese tucked inside. The potatoes are finely grated, seasoned with salt and pepper, and shaped into croquettes around a slice of cheese using wet hands. They are coated in beaten egg and breadcrumbs, then fried in a generous amount of oil until crisp. They taste good hot or cold, making them suitable for lunch, dinner, or a picnic.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Peel the potatoes, boil them, and grate them finely. Season with salt and pepper. Cut the cheese into thin slices and beat the eggs with a fork.
With wet hands, shape the potatoes into croquettes, placing a slice of cheese in the center of each. Coat them in egg and breadcrumbs, then fry in a generous amount of oil until crisp.
Serve hot or cold.

Tip: Coat the croquettes twice: first in egg and breadcrumbs, then in egg and breadcrumbs again. The sturdier coating keeps the melted cheese inside so it does not leak into the oil.
