- Place bread in the bowl of a food processor. Process until crumbs form, about 10 seconds. Transfer crumbs to a medium bowl; set aside. Line one baking sheet with parchment, and another one with a double thickness of paper towels; set both aside.
- In a small bowl, combine potatoes, herbs, egg, and flour using a fork or spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Using a spoon, scoop mixture into an egg-shaped piece. Using a second spoon, push shape into the bowl of bread crumbs. Roll to coat, and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
- Place oil in a small deep saucepan. Heat over medium heat until a frying thermometer registers 350 degrees. Using slotted spoon, place five croquettes in oil. Cook until golden and puffed, turning once, 4 to 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining croquettes. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Mix 2 large egg yolks, 2 cups cold mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour in a medium bowl. Roll into walnut-size balls; chill until cold, at least 2 hours.
- Beat 4 large eggs in a bowl; place 2 cups breadcrumbs in another bowl. Pour vegetable oil into a medium skillet to measure 1/2" (about 2 cups) and heat over medium-high until a pinch of breadcrumbs bubbles immediately when added. Dip potato balls in egg, then roll in breadcrumbs. Working in batches, fry, turning often, until golden brown and crisp, 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
