Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil the 2 large potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Mix the mashed potatoes with 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Shape into 4 oval croquettes.

  3. Step 3

    Set up a breading station: 0.5 cup flour in one bowl, 1 beaten egg in another, and 1 cup breadcrumbs in a third.

  4. Step 4

    Coat each croquette in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Press gently to adhere.

  5. Step 5

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the croquettes until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes total.

  6. Step 6

    Slice 0.5 red onion thinly and chop 0.25 cup fresh herbs. Sprinkle over the croquettes before serving.
