Directions

  1. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, peel, and mash them in a bowl.

  2. Combine mashed potatoes, 1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs, eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese, pecorino cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl, mix by hand until smooth. Scoop up 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mixture, shape into an oval, cylindrical croquette. Repeat with remaining mixture.

  3. Pour remaining 1 1/4 cups bread crumbs into a shallow plate. Dredge croquettes in the bread crumbs.

  4. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Fry croquettes in the hot oil in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side, turning as needed. Drain on paper towels.

Recipe Note

These Italian potato croquettes (panzerotti di patate) are delicious and a hit with my whole family. They are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.
