"While there are many ways you can use them up, leftover mashed potato croquettes might be one of the tastiest. Do justice to yesterday's mash by making crispy, craveable croquettes that will be devoured as quickly as they are assembled. To enjoy a pleasing second day of potato paradise, the process is as easy as rolling the mash into balls, coating them with breadcrumbs, and pan-frying."
"The brilliant thing about using mashed potatoes to make these dainty croquettes is that you'll likely have everything you need in your pantry to get started - any variety of breadcrumbs, your favorite dry seasonings, and a saucy condiment to dip them into. They're also super-quick to make because you've got the leftover potato prepped and ready to go, which you've probably already seasoned with extras, like herbs or shredded cheese."
Mashed potatoes can be repurposed into croquettes by binding the leftovers with an egg and breadcrumbs, shaping into balls, then coating in additional breadcrumbs. Chill the shaped patties briefly to help them hold their shape during frying. Pan-fry until golden for a tender interior and crunchy exterior, or deep-fry for an extra-crispy crust. Season the potato mixture with herbs, red pepper flakes, mustard, or folded-in shredded cheese, and add protein like chopped ham if desired. Use any breadcrumb variety, including panko, and serve with a favorite saucy condiment for dipping.
