serves 6<\/p>\n
800 g (4-6) potatoes
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t1 egg
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t1\/4 cup bread or breadcrumbs
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t1\/2 cup olive oil
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t salt
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t grated cheese, optional\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Cut potatoes into quarters and boil in salted water until tender.
\nPeel and put through a food mill or ricer.
\nLightly beat the egg and mix with the potatoes along with half the breadcrumbs and a tablespoon of olive oil.
\nAdd salt to taste, let cool and form into firm balls or flat cakes and roll in the rest of the crumbs.
\nFry until golden brown in very hot oil in a heavy-duty frying pan, using a pancake turner if needed to prevent sticking.
\nPut the croquettes on paper towels, dry to remove excess oil; serve at once, sprinkled with a bit of grated cheese if desired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3576,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","recipe_category":[],"class_list":["post-3584","cp_recipe","type-cp_recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dietamediterranea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/3584\/"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dietamediterranea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cooked_recipe\/"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dietamediterranea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cp_recipe\/"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietamediterranea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2\/"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietamediterranea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments\/?post=3584"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietamediterranea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3576\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dietamediterranea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/?parent=3584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cp_recipe_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietamediterranea.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recipe_category\/?post=3584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
