mashed potatoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1 kg potatoes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Peel the potatoes and boil them until cooked (not too soft) in salted water. Drain them and let the remaining cooking liquid evaporate over a low heat. The cooked potatoes must be as dry as possible. Never use new, freshly dug potatoes, as they contain too much water. Stir enough so that they do not burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 egg yolk, nutmeg, salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Mash the potatoes with a food mill or mash them into a fine puree without lumps. Break the egg and stir only the yolk into the puree. Keep the egg white for later. Add a knob of butter (about 30 g for 4 medium potatoes; too much butter is also risky, as the croquettes may burst). Use good butter, never margarine, one or two egg yolks, pepper, salt and grated nutmeg. Mix everything well. Let the mashed potatoes rest overnight in a cool place, but preferably not in the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Roll this between your two hands, without applying pressure, to make a nice smooth round ball, slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball, and place it on a floured work surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

breading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1 Make sure all the croquettes get a thin coating of flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

200 g breadcrumbs, 3 egg whites, pepper, salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Now place the balls in the fridge for a few hours. They then become very firm and are easier to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Set out two more bowls. Fill one with a generous amount of breadcrumbs. In the other bowl put the egg whites. Season them with a pinch of salt and a little pepper from the mill. Beat the egg whites lightly with a fork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Use the whites of the eggs whose yolks you put in the puree, add a few whole eggs and beat everything well with a fork. Roll the floured croquettes through the bowl. Make sure the entire surface of each croquette gets a coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Still using your left hand, take the wet ball out of the bowl, let it drip for a moment and then, always with your left hand, place the ball on the breadcrumbs (without touching them) in a second bowl placed next to it. Then, with your right hand, throw the breadcrumbs over the wet ball and only touch it with your right hand once the whole ball is covered in breadcrumbs. This way your right hand always stays dry. Make sure a layer of crumbs sticks all over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

frying<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1 then place the breaded croquette on a tray covered with a double sheet of kitchen paper, so that the croquette can also dry on the underside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Heat the frying fat (peanut oil) to 170\u00b0\/180 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Fry the croquettes until light golden brown, in several batches. Too many croquettes in the fryer basket increases the chance of bursting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
