Potato And Gruyere Croquettes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together mashed potatoes and parsley; season with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, place flour; season with salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water. In a third shallow bowl, place 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.
• Form potato mixture into 3/4-by-2-inch logs. Roll in flour, shaking off excess, dip in egg wash, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat. In a heavy medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil over medium-high until hot. In batches, fry croquettes until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per batch, turing as needed. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add potato and onion. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Cool completely. Mix next 4 ingredients into potato mixture. Using moistened hands, form scant 1/4 cup mixture into 3-inch-long, 1-inch-wide cylinder for each croquette. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
• Whisk eggs in medium bowl. Place breadcrumbs in pie dish. Dip each croquette into eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere. Chill 1 hour. Heat 1/2 cup oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add croquettes to skillet and cook until crisp and golden brown, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes until fork tender, and let cool for 20 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mash the potatoes. (For a creamier texture, use a potato ricer.) Add the Parmigiano cheese, chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Add one egg and mix well, until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Grab a handful of mashed potatoes and press into logs that are 1 1/2-inches thick by 3 inches long. With your finger, create an indentation in the middle of the log and add a slice of mozzarella. Close up the logs and make sure the mozzarella is fully covered. Reshape if necessary.
• For the batter, dip potato logs in a beaten egg and cover with breadcrumbs.
• Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F.
• Fry in the oil in batches until the potato croquettes are crispy and golden brown.
• Let drain on a paper towel lined plate, and serve warm.

Steps:

• 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. 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.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Shallow-fry the croquettes, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-towel lined plate. Let the croquettes cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
