Since I make these all the time I really don't even bother to measure, the ingredient amounts listed are close to the amounts I usually use you can adjust the amounts to taste, I have left the Parmesan as optional I like to add it in - for the best texture the potatoes must be russet and they should be oven-baked - I have use panko in place of the butter crackers but I think the crackers give a better taste - yield is only estimated depending on the size you make the croquettes - you may make the mashed potato mixture up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to roll and bake - you will love these! Ingredients:
3 large russet potatoes (or use 4 medium) |
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
1 -2 green onion, finely chopped |
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped |
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or to taste) or 1 teaspoon white salt (or to taste) |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1 pinch cayenne pepper |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (can use more) (optional) |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (optional) |
1 large egg, slightly beaten |
2 1/2 cups crushed ritz crackers |
Directions:
1. Cook the potatoes until fork-tender, transfer to in a large bowl then mash with a potato masher or a fork until fluffy.
2. Add in the remaining 10 ingredients; mix very well to combine and adjust all seasonings to taste; cool slightly then mix in the egg.
3. At this point you may refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
4. Shape about 3 tablespoons of mixture into a ball.
5. Roll into the cracker crumbs and place on a baking sheet.
6. Press down with hands to flatten just slightly.
7. Repeat with remaining mixture.
8. Set oven to 375 degrees and bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
