Potato Croquettes With Parmesan

I had some leftover mashed potatoes so I decided to give this recipe a try. I didn't have onions or parsley, so I used garlic and fresh basil. I was skeptical but it turned out really delicious. I had no problem with them staying together. I topped each one with an over-medium egg, some tomato salad on the side, and voila...dinner is ready. Thank you for an effortless, yet tasty meal.

Delicate and not an overpowering flavor. Although I increased the amount of cheese to one quarter cup. I had the idea to bake these but they weren't crisping up as I hoped and lightly fried in a little grape seed oil. Fresh parsley from the garden and we enjoyed the leftovers for breakfast yesterday. For best results, the mixture was prepared first thing in the morning, refrigerated, shaped then cooked. Reviewed for Veg Tag November.

My mother always made these and I loved them. She always added some minced garlic to them - delicious. Instead of the breadcrumbs she rolled them in flour - I'm going to try them with the breadcrumbs.

These were very good! There are only two of us but I made a full recipe and flash froze the ones I didn't use before cooking so that they are ready for next time I want to make them. Thanks WiGal! Made for Holiday Tag.

I made my mashed potatoes specifically for this recipe, so I didn't add anything other than salt, using fleur de sel. I grated my onions, as specified. The taste of these is really good, and everyone enjoyed them. I refrigerated these for about an hour and a half before cooking them. I think I should have let them stay in the refrigerator longer....I couldn't get them to stay together...but they were delicious anyway. I made these for Family Favorites, ZWT5.

I had leftover mashed potatoes from Mashed Potatoes With Creme Fraiche and Chives #373346 from France, ZWT5. I used them to make these lovely croquettes. As mine were quite smooth to begin with, I added to the other ingredients, some dried breadcrumbs, (the kind from the grocery store), until I could get the right consistency. And then they fried up very nice with just cooking spray on both sides! (Saving fat for our health issues.) A way to use mashed potato leftovers without worry! Thanks, WiGal! I'll use this often!

*Reviewed during ZWT5 France visit for the Zaar CHow Hounds* We loved these. Used freshly mashed potatoes without milk or butter. Formed the croquettes and refrigerated for 3 hours. Rolled inot gluten-free rice rumbs before cooking. These cooked up beautifully. I think the dry mash helps a lot. The croquette patties are very soft until refrigerated. Photos being posted also

Made these a couple hours ahead and refrigerated them, but that may not have been long enough? I preheated a non-stick skillet and cooked at least 4 minutes on each side on medium, but I felt they needed more time to make a crispy exterior (like the photo). I really like potato croquettes. When I ordered them at a restaurant a long time ago somebody recommended I not try them since they were made with "leftovers." I didn't listen and tried them anyway and loved them. If I had cooked this longer, I would have loved these too. Will try this recipe again soon, but other than the less-than-crispy-exterior they tasted fine! Thanks.

A lovely potato dish, and very easy to make when you have mashed potatoes on hand as I had from having recently made bmcnichol's Crock Pot Baked Potatoes 259599. I added 2 cloves of minced garlic (a must-include-ingredient for me) to the minced onions and a few grindings of black pepper but otherwise made these exactly to the recipe. I made these last night to the end of step 3, so they were in the fridge for a good 24 hours before they were cooked. Obviously far longer than necessary, but it's really SO useful to have easy make-ahead dishes in one's repertoire! Clear instructions; crispy and delicious croquettes. These would make a great side-dish to any meat or vegetarian dish. Thanks for sharing another great recipe, WiGal.

These are great! My mom used to make them with a little pinky size piece of cheese in them too, so I made them that way. I also only used one egg white, and had no problem with them sticking together. Do make sure you cook these over medium to medium low heat though, so that they do not burn. I made 4 rectangles and it was very easy for the two of us to eat all of them as a side dish. Thanks for this yummy recipe!

Made for 123 Hit Wonders, this is a very nice potato side-dish that I served w/oven-baked chicken wings + salad. My potatoes were made for this dish so I had no issue w/prior adds to them, but I did add garlic. The mixture setup well, but chilling is a must here. A matter of curiosity for me was making 6 patties to serve 4, so I made 8 & DH has already asked for them as part of his breakfast tomorrow. Thx for sharing this tasty recipe w/us.

very good! I shaped them into 12 smaller croquettes other than 6 big ones. My mother used to make a very similar version, with a cube of mozzarella in the center of the croquette. Great memories. Thank you WiGal.

This is such a wonderful way to use leftover mashed potatoes. These are delicious and true comfort food. My croquettes were still pretty soft even after an hour of refrigeration, but I know that just depends on how you made your mashed potatoes prior to this recipe. Regardless, the flavor is perfect. I added some freshly ground black pepper to these when served. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely delicious! Used garlic tater flakes and let them set-up in the fridge for about 45 minutes. Fried up nice and golden brown. Served with the dollop of sour cream. Will make again. Made for Holiday tag and Potato Event in Cooking Photos.

Thank you for a good recipe in which I can use up leftover potatoes. The croquettes were nicely flavored but I did use some more cheese..can't help that..I always more cheese then a recipe states. They do need to be refrigirated and I had to be careful to flip them over when browning them but I know that could also be because my leftover potatoes had some additions to it already. Many thanks for sharing!
