Ingredients:
  • 500g approx 3 medium potatoes
  • 3 tbsp -40 g butter
  • 150g mozzarella cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg (grated)

  • Frying oil
Instructions
  • Bake potatoes for 1 hour at 180°C / 350°F and flip them over occasionally.
  • Scoop out the flesh leaving the skin behind and place flesh in a mixing bowl.
  • Using a fork or masher, mash the potatoes until smooth.
  • Add the butter to the potato
  • Grate the nutmeg, add together with salt and pepper.
  • Grate the mozzarella and add to the mixture and mix well with a fork to distribute the mozzarella evenly.
  • Separate the egg yolks, set the egg whites aside.
  • Add the yolks to the mix and mix well.
  • Transfer into a pipping bag or freezer bag with a hole and extrude into long strips.
  • Alternatively you can roll them into ropes and cut to desired sizes.
  • Place on a tray and cover & refrigerate for 15 minutes or until they are firm.
  • Slice into smaller size batons.
  • Dip and roll the croquettes into flour first, then egg whites and finally breadcrumbs.
  • Heat up the oil to 170°C / 340°F and carefully transfer the croquettes into the frying pan.
  • Fry until golden on the outside and gently turn the croquettes to avoid burning.
  • Place on a paper towel and serve warm.
 
This looks great too, something my daughter would love! Yet I have to look for a Mozzarella that can be grated. Possibly there are more kinds of it? The ones we usually buy are very soft, and bought in its own water in the bag. They can be sliced, but not really grated. I think, maybe I should try...and will research...:)
