The eyes of 5 Yukon Gold potatoes were staring at me in the kitchen yesterday. With my mom and Aunt Marsha-Marsha-Marsha sitting in the kitchen, I decided to make a little afternoon snack (which turned into dinner because it took a bit longer that I expected because someeone had to make the mashed potatoes homemade ... hmmm, wonder who that was?)
In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups mashed potatoes and 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley, season with salt & pepper, mix in 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and several tablespoons bacon crumbles.
In shallow bowl, place 1 cup all-purpose flour. In another shallow bowl, whisk 2 large eggs with 2 tablespoons water. In third shallow bowl, place 1 1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs.
Form potato mixture into 3/4 inch by 2 inch logs.
Roll in flour, shaking off excess.
Dip in egg wash.
(There really isn't a way to make egg wash look pretty.)
Roll in bread crumbs to coat.
In a heavy dutch oven or chicken fryer, heat 1 1/2 inches canola oil over medium high until hot. In batches, fry croquettes until golden on all sides, about 2 minutes total per batch, turning as needed.
Drain on paper towels.
Makes lots - you will be at the stove for awhile - prepare to get HOT!
