Boil the potatoes until soft, then peel and mash them.

Add salt and chopped cilantro, refrigerate for a while, and set aside.

Prepare the beef by frying it with garlic, chopped onion, tomato, salt, and seasoning.

With hot oil ready, take the mashed potatoes, dust your hands with flour, take a portion, and make a hole in the center.

Fill with the beef mixture, close it up, and shape as desired—either round or oval.

While still in your hand, coat the croquette with flour and fry in the hot oil until golden brown. Makes about 20 good-sized croquettes. Enjoy!
