Potato Croquettes

This is such a good recipe for those mashed potato leftovers that you just don't know what to do with. The kids (and hubby) will just love them and they are so easy to make.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons milk
•  salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  chopped green onion (optional)
• 2  egg yolks, beaten
• 3  tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4  cups mashed potatoes
• 1  egg, beaten
•  sifted  dried breadcrumbs
•  oil, enough to fill pan 1/2-inch

Directions

1. Add milk, salt, pepper, chopped onion, beaten egg yolks and flour to mashed potatoes.
2. Chill and then shape using an ice cream scoop.(skip this step if you are using left-overs that have allready been in the fridge).
3. Dip in the beaten egg, then roll through bread crumbs.
4. Fry each croquette in shallow oil until brown on all sides.
5. Cook's Note: Cook in small batches, giving each croquette at least 2 inches of space around it to not overcrowd the pan. This prevents the croquettes from crumbling while frying.
