POTATO CROQUETTES WITH PARMESAN
Croquettes are delicious with steak and Recipe#292323 and strawberries dipped in chocolate. They should be shaped into patties and refrigerated ahead of time. The timing here does not include the chilling time. I have changed the directions about refrigerating the patties ahead and the number of patties after looking at the kind reviews. I do love this recipe and hope you do too.:)

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.

Tips:
- To ensure the smoothest and creamiest mashed potatoes, use a ricer to mash them instead of a fork or potato masher.
- For extra crispy and flavorful croquettes, make sure the mashed potatoes are well chilled before forming them into balls.
- If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs, but panko will give you a crispier texture.
- Be careful not to overcook the croquettes, as they can easily burn. Cook them until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still soft and creamy on the inside.
- Serve the croquettes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.
