Potato Croquettes With Fontina Cheese Recipes

CHEESY POTATO CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Add peeled and cubed potatoes to a large stockpot with salted water. Heat over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for approximately 15 minutes until potatoes are tender. Meanwhile, remove Boursin from the fridge to come to room temperature. Once potatoes are tender, drain and transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Mash potatoes slightly. Add Boursin cheese, salt, white pepper, onion powder, and melted butter. Continue mashing until completely combined and smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes, then add ONE egg and stir to combine. Chill in the fridge for 15-25 minutes until mixture easily forms together.
• Take 1/4 cup of the mashed potato mixture and form into a rectangle. Place formed croquettes on a parchment lined plate. Continue forming until all of the mixture is used. Continue to chill for 20-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place flour in a bowl and stir in salt and pepper to taste. In another bowl, place the second egg for the egg wash. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a skillet or dutch oven (about 1 inch deep) until it reaches 350°F.
• Dip each potato croquette in flour, egg wash, then breadcrumbs. Set on a baking sheet or plate until ready to cook. In the heated oil, fry croquettes in batches (don't crowd the pan) for about 1 1/2 - 2 minutes on each side (4 sides) until golden brown. Remove and set on a plate lined with a paper towel before serving. Garnish with parmesan cheese and parsley as desired.

• Take a heaped tablespoon of mashed potato and flatten it in your hand. Place a cube of cheese in the middle and wrap the mashed potato around it. Shape into a cylinder shape.
• Dip the croquette into the flour, then into the egg and finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring the croquette is completely covered. Place on the baking tray and repeat with the rest of the mashed potato.
• Ensure there is a little space between each of the croquettes on the tray, then place in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the croquettes are golden. Don't overcook or the cheese will start to seep out and the croquettes will flatten out a little.
• Take out of the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes before serving.
