Potato Croquettes






















This dish is great if you have leftover mashed potatoes from a holiday party or family meal. This will completely transform your leftovers into something totally different!

Ingredients:
- Leftover mashed potatoes
- fresh parsley
- vegetable oil
- cooking spray
- salt
- pepper

To Make:
In a deep pan, fill about 1/3 with vegetable oil. Set the stove to medium high heat and let the oil heat up.

Dice up the fresh parsley and mix into the mashed potatoes. Add more liquid to the potatoes if they are too dry to work with.

Spray a large spoon with cooking spray and using the spoon, scoop out the potatoes and drop them gently into the hot oil.

Repeat this until all potatoes are cooked. You will have to do this in batches since the croquettes are fairly large.

Season each croquette with salt immediately after removing from the hot oil. Let each new batch rest on several paper towels to remove excess oil.
