Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease generously with 2 tbsp olive oil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the mashed potatoes, grated cheese, parsley and an egg. I use my hands to thoroughly mix all ingredients together. Add salt, if needed.
- Scoop out approximately 1/4 cup of potato mixture and roll in the palms of your hands to shape into a sphere.
- Prepare 2 bowls for dredging: in the first beat an egg with a tablespoon of water. In the second, place the breadcrumbs. Dredge first in the egg wash, allowing the excess egg to drip off. Then dredge all sides in the breadcrumbs. Dredge a second time in the egg wash and breadcrumbs.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the croquettes lightly with the remaining olive oil.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake for another 10-12 minutes until golden. Serve hot.

BAKED CHEESY POTATO CROQUETTES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200c/400f and put a flat baking tray to one side.
- Place the flour, salt and pepper in one bowl and mix together
- Place the egg in a second bowl and lightly whisk.
- Place the breadcrumbs in the third bowl. Sprinkle the smoked paprika onto the breadcrumbs and then drizzle on the oil. Mix together so the the oil absorbs into all of the breadcrumbs.
- Take a heaped tablespoon of mashed potato and flatten it in your hand. Place a cube of cheese in the middle and wrap the mashed potato around it. Shape into a cylinder shape.
- Dip the croquette into the flour, then into the egg and finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring the croquette is completely covered. Place on the baking tray and repeat with the rest of the mashed potato.
- Ensure there is a little space between each of the croquettes on the tray, then place in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the croquettes are golden. Don't overcook or the cheese will start to seep out and the croquettes will flatten out a little.
- Take out of the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

Cool and put through a ricer in a large bowl. Add the butter, bacon, sour cream, milk, green onion, salt, pepper. Mix together and form 4 balls. Place 1 piece of cheese in the center of each ball.
- For the egg wash: Whisk the egg and milk together in a shallow bowl. Place the flour in a second shallow bowl. Roll the balls in the flour and then the egg wash, then again in the flour.
- For frying: Heat the canola oil to 350 degrees F in a deep fryer or large pot. Deep fry the croquettes in batches in the oil until golden brown and hot in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes.

Steps:
- Place the potatoes into a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until tender enough to easily pierce with a fork. Drain and toss gently over low heat for a minute to completley dry out. Press them through a sieve or just mash with a potato masher until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix in the butter and egg yolk, then spread out on a tray to cool.
- Preheat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). The oil is the proper temperature when a cube of bread browns in about 15 seconds.
- In a large bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese and spinach. Blend in the mashed potatoes. On a floured surface, using floured hands, roll small handfuls of the mixture into cylinders about 3/4 inch thick and 2 1/2 inches long. Tap the ends to flatten.
- Season 1/2 cup of flour with salt and pepper and place on a tray. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and peanut oil. Place the bread crumbs into a separate shallow bowl. Roll the croquettes in seasoned flour, then dip into the egg and then coat with bread crumbs.
- Fry the croquettes a few at a time, so they have some room in between, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Carefully remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on crumpled paper towels.

KITTENCAL'S BAKED CHEESY MASHED POTATO PATTIES/CROQUETTES
Since I make these all the time I really don't even bother to measure, the ingredient amounts listed are close to the amounts I usually use you can adjust the amounts to taste, I have left the Parmesan as optional I like to add it in --- for the best texture the potatoes must be russet and they should be oven-baked --- I have use panko in place of the butter crackers but I think the crackers give a better taste --- yield is only estimated depending on the size you make the croquettes --- you may make the mashed potato mixture up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to roll and bake ----- you will love these!

Tips:
- To ensure the croquettes are golden brown and crispy, make sure the oil is hot enough before frying them. You can check the temperature of the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it. If the bread sizzles and floats to the top immediately, the oil is ready.
- If you don't have a deep fryer, you can also shallow fry the croquettes in a large skillet. Just make sure to add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
- To make sure the croquettes are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the croquettes are done.
- Serve the croquettes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, or ranch dressing.
- If you're making the croquettes ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you're ready to serve them, simply reheat them in the oven or air fryer until they're warmed through.
