Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Return potatoes to pot and roughly mash them with 1/4 cup butter.
- Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove all but 1 teaspoon of bacon drippings from the skillet. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, and allow to cool. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
- Place chopped onion in the skillet and cook and stir over medium-low heat until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Scrape onion out of the skillet over the potatoes.
- Stir reserved bacon, cottage cheese, green onion, 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper into the potato mixture and mix lightly to combine. Spoon into the prepared baking dish, dot with 2 tablespoons of butter, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese.

Bacon Cheddar Potato Croquettes combine the flavors of crispy bacon, melted cheddar cheese, and tender potatoes into bite-sized treats. Ideal for parties, snacks, or side dishes, these croquettes are easy to make by following these tips:
Tips:
- Choosing Potatoes: Select starchy potatoes like Russet or Idaho potatoes for a fluffy interior. Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used for a slightly denser texture.
- Boiling Potatoes: Boil the potatoes until tender but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will result in a mashed potato-like texture.
- Mashing Potatoes: Use a potato ricer or masher to achieve a smooth and lump-free potato mixture. Avoid using a food processor, as it can overwork the potatoes and make them gummy.
- Seasoning: Don't skimp on the seasoning! Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste. You can also experiment with other herbs and spices like paprika, chili powder, or cumin.
- Frying Croquettes: Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the croquettes. Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan with at least 2 inches of oil. The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F (175°C to 190°C).
- Draining Croquettes: After frying, drain the croquettes on paper towels or a wire rack to remove excess oil.
Conclusion:
With crispy exteriors, fluffy interiors, and the perfect balance of flavors, Bacon Cheddar Potato Croquettes are sure to be a hit. Serve them as an appetizer, snack, or side dish with your favorite dipping sauce. Whether you're making them for a party or a casual family meal, these croquettes are guaranteed to satisfy. So gather your ingredients, follow these tips, and enjoy this delightful culinary experience!
