# What You'll Need:
→ Potato Mixture
01 -
4 golden potatoes, quartered
02 -
2 teaspoons salt
03 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 -
1 teaspoon paprika
05 -
0.5 cup cornstarch
06 -
0.33 cup shredded parmesan cheese

0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
→ Garlic Butter Dough
09 -
0.33 cup unsalted butter
10 -
5 cloves garlic, minced
11 -
0.75 cup whole milk
12 -
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Place quartered golden potatoes in a large pot of heavily salted water. Boil for approximately 15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a mixing bowl.
02 -
Mash the cooked potatoes until smooth and free of lumps. Incorporate salt, garlic powder, paprika, cornstarch, shredded parmesan, and ground black pepper. Mix until homogenous.
03 -
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until aromatic. Stir in the milk, then remove from heat. Add all-purpose flour and blend with a wooden spoon until a thick, smooth paste forms.
04 -
Fold the garlic butter dough into the seasoned mashed potatoes. Stir until a uniform, cohesive dough is achieved.
05 -
Using a tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll into balls. Repeat with remaining mixture.
06 -
Heat neutral oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 175°C. Fry potato balls in batches for approximately 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Transfer to paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil.
07 -
Plate croquettes while hot. Sprinkle with additional chopped parsley and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately, accompanied by sour cream and chive dip if desired.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
For optimal texture, ensure potatoes are thoroughly drained before mashing to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
