Instructions:
-
Boil and Mash Potatoes:
- Begin by boiling both sweet potatoes and regular potatoes together until they are tender. Once cooked, drain them and transfer them into a large bowl.
- Mash the potatoes thoroughly using a potato masher or fork until smooth and lump-free.
-
Mix Ingredients:
- To the mashed potatoes, add finely chopped green onions, grated Parmesan cheese, diced chicken, softened butter, and any desired seasonings.
- Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring that the mixture is evenly seasoned.
-
Shape Croquettes:
- Take portions of the mixture and shape them into small croquettes, forming approximately 18 croquettes in total.
- Place the shaped croquettes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy handling.
-
Refrigerate:
- Cover the croquettes with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the croquettes will help them hold their shape better during frying.
-
Coat and Dip:
- In separate bowls, place the plain flour and beaten eggs.
- Take each croquette and coat it first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
-
Crumb Coating:
- Roll the coated croquettes in breadcrumbs until they are evenly covered, providing a crispy outer layer once fried.
-
Fry the Croquettes:
- Heat oil in a shallow frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the coated croquettes into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the croquettes in batches, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Once cooked, remove the croquettes from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
-
