A very simple recipe that children love.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 kg (2,2 pounds) of potatoes
- 200 grams (7 oz) of mozzarella cheese
- 100 grams (3.5 oz) of cooked ham in cubes (you can use also prosciutto or similar)
- 4 eggs
- Bread crumbs
- Salt
- Oil
We peel the potatoes and boil them whole in salted water until we can stick the tip of a knife up to the center of them. We extract and let cool.
We pass the potatoes through the food mill or crumble them, crushing them with a fork and add the grated mozzarella and the ham cubes.
Add two beaten eggs and knead well so that the mixture is well homogeneous. With half a teaspoon of salt it will be enough to season.
We make the croquettes with the bowl of the hand or with a spoon, passing them through the two remaining beaten eggs and the breadcrumbs.
We fry them in plenty of hot oil without let them touching and ready to be eaten.
Simply yummy.
