How to make Potato and Cheese Croquettes:
Gather the ingredients needed to make the Cheese and Potato Croquettes first. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small pieces, so they will take much less time to cook. Place the potatoes in a pot with a little salt, cover with cold water and turn the heat to high. Let them boil until soft and then drain them.
Tip: You can also steam them.
Puree the cooked potatoes by mashing them or passing them through a food mill. And then mix them with the parsley, mozzarella cheese and half the breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mix everything well and this will be the dough for the cheese and potato croquettes.
Take a portion of the dough with your hands and flatten it a bit. In the center, place a piece of mozzarella cheese in a stick or provolone cheese and mold it to form a closed ball or meatball. Coat the potato and cheese croquettes with the remaining breadcrumbs once you have prepared them all, pressing a little so that it adheres well. Fry them in hot oil until they are completely golden. Then, take them out and place them on a plate with absorbent paper.
