Potato and Beef Croquettes

Method

1. 1

   Making the croquettes mix· 25 Minutes

   Peel and cut the potatoes. Cook them in a pot till you can easily stick a fork in them but don't over do it. About 15 minutes. At the same time add one oil table spoon to a pan and fry the onion on medium heat until slightly brown (5-10 minutes). Add the ground beef and cook till it changes its color to brown and all the liquids vaporize. Add 1 Tsp of salt and pepper to your liking. About 10-15 minutes.

   Mixing Beef and Potatoes· 5 Minutes

3. 3

   Frying the Croquettes· 5-10 Minutes

   Add Oil (2-3 table spoons) to a pan over a medium heat. With wet hands or with a spoon create long and chunky patties from the potato and beef mix (slightly larger than a golf ball) and dip into flour, egg and breadcrumbs in that order. Fry the croquettes, brown them nicely from all sides. Alternatively you can also use a deep fryer for this step and they will brown more evenly. Remove and let the croquettes rest on a paper towel for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm!
