TWO Please!
ingredients
- 4 cups mashed potatoes
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Pepper to taste
- 3 eggs + 2 yolks
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
- 5oz sharp aged cheddar cut into 12 pieces
- 3-4 cups oil (I like peanut oil)
- 1 cup marinara sauce (choose your favorite brand or make it)
directions
- Mix potatoes with sour cream, butter, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, 2 egg yolks and flour. Refrigerate for 1 hour to harden the mixture.
- Roll potato mixture into round 12 oblong cylinders and place a 1/2 oz piece of cheese in the center by molding the potato around it. Refrigerate again for 15 min.
- Lightly beat remaining eggs in a bowl and place breadcrumbs in a second bowl.
- Dip each cylinder in eggs and then breadcrumbs.
- Pour oil into a deep heavy pot. Heat to 365 degrees; monitor with a thermometer or check by using the handle end of a wooden spoon. It will bubble around the handle when it hits about 350 degrees.
- Carefully place 2 potato croquettes at a time into oil and fry until deeply golden.
