I made a potato appetizer. We have fresh, in-season potatoes from the garden right now—they’re delicious, so I wanted to make this. Honestly, everyone liked them so much that I almost didn’t have any left to take a photo. Especially great for kids.

Steps

About 40 minutes

1

Start by boiling the potatoes in plenty of salted water. Peel them before boiling. Mine were ready in about 15 minutes.
2

Drain the potatoes and quickly mash them until smooth. Add the milk to make the mixture creamier, but don’t let it get too soft.
3

Prepare a mild, easy-melting cheese. I used a thick slice. Take portions of the potato mixture, place a small cube of cheese in the center, and shape into croquettes. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
4

Set up one plate with beaten egg and another with breadcrumbs. Dip each croquette first in the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
5

Continue until all are breaded.
6

Heat plenty of oil for frying. You can also bake them in the oven or use an air fryer.

No matter how you cook them, they’ll be delicious—kids will love them. Enjoy!
