Ingredients
Scale
Potato & Chicken Filling
- 4 cups boiled potatoes
- 2 cups shredded boiled chicken
- ½ cup cheese (your favorite melty kind)
- Salt, to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper
Breading Station
- ½ cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
For Frying
- Oil, for frying
Instructions
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth.
- Add shredded chicken, cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Shape the mixture into small croquettes—either cylindrical or round, about 2 tablespoons each.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Roll each croquette in flour, dip in egg, and then coat in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry croquettes in batches, turning to brown all sides evenly—about 3–4 minutes per side.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a simple salad.
Notes
- For extra flavor, mix herbs like parsley or chives into the potato mixture.
- Try mozzarella, cheddar, or gouda cheese for different melting textures.
- These can be prepped ahead and frozen before frying—just fry from frozen, adding a few minutes to the cook time.
