Ingredients to make Potato Croquettes with Spinach and Mozzarella:
- 4 boiled potatoes
- 3 tablespoons of butter or margarine
- 1 pinch of Nutmeg
- 1 pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 cup of boiled spinach
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 bunch of parsley
- 150 grams of Mozzarella
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
How to make Potato Croquettes with Spinach and Mozzarella:
With the cooked potatoes, make a creamy puree, mixing with the margarine and the nutmeg. Remember that to speed up this process you must cook the previously chopped and peeled potatoes in boiling water.
Then, add the well squeezed and finely chopped spinach together with the garlic and parsley, also finely chopped. Season the mixture well and place it in the fridge until it cools and hardens a bit.
Then, once the dough for the croquettes is cold, we take a portion and place a piece of mozzarella inside it, closing it elongated to make the typical croquette shape.
When we have all the croquettes ready, we pass them through the battering station, first with beaten egg and then with breadcrumbs.
Finally, fry the spinach croquettes in very hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Control the temperature of the oil to prevent the croquettes from burning before they are done.
Remove to a plate with absorbent paper to remove excess oil. Enjoy these delicious potato croquettes with spinach and mozzarella and accompany them with a fresh yogurt and mint sauce, for example.
