Instructions

1

Peel then boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water, mash them, then set aside to cool in a medium bowl.

2

Once cold, add the eggs, grated cheese, seasoning and nutmeg, stir to combine.

3

To shape the croquettes: Take 50 grams of the mixture, flatten it in the palm of your hand then place a strip of mozzarella in the center, bring the edges of the mixture around the cheese, encasing it and sealing it - add flour to prevent the mixture sticking to your hands. Repeat this process to shape the remaining croquettes.

4

Dip each croquette in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumbs.

 

Tip: For a crunchier coating we recommend breading each croquette twice.

5

Lightly oil the drawer, then add some of the croquettes, allowing some space between each one, cook in batches if necessary.

6

Select FRESH POTATOES, 200°C, set 15 minutes and press the START button.

 

Rotate the croquettes twice during the cooking time.

Once cooked, repeat the same process for the remaining croquettes.
