The ingredients needed to make Leftover Mashed Potato Croquettes with Cheese & Green Onions:
  1. Make ready For the croquettes:
  2. Get 2 cups mashed potatoes (firmly packed)
  3. Get 1/4 cup flour for the croquettes
  4. Take 1 large egg
  5. Make ready 1/2-2/3 cup grated cheese (such as Cheddar, Jack, Mozzarella, Colby Jack)
  6. Take 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
  7. Make ready 1 large green onion, chopped (white parts, too)
  8. Prepare For coating and frying:
  9. Make ready 1/2 cup flour
  10. Make ready 1/4 cup oil

Carefully dip each potato croquette into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. In a medium bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, greek yogurt, egg, cheese, ham, chives, salt and pepper. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan and remove the mashed potato mixture from the fridge. Crush the crackers and place on a small plate.

Steps to make Leftover Mashed Potato Croquettes with Cheese & Green Onions:
  1. Put all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. (Try to sprinkle the salt evenly over the entire surface area of the mashed potatoes so you don't accidentally get a super salty bite.)
  2. Get in with your hands (or a wooden spoon or spatula if you're not a handsy person) and mix everything thoroughly.
  3. Divide batter into 4 equal parts and form each fourth into a roughly 4.5 inch diameter patty.
  4. Heat the 1/4 cup oil in a fry pan to medium high.
  5. While the oil is heating, coat the patties on all sides with a little bit of flour.
  6. Fry the croquettes, two at a time, for 4 to 5 minutes per side. You'll know the oil's ready if you hear a gentle sizzle when you throw a pinch of flour into the pan. If you don't see that flour cooking and hear it sizzling right away, your oil's not hot enough yet and you should wait, otherwise your croquettes won't sear immediately, and they'll absorb too much oil and be greasy. If the croquettes are browning too much before the 3.5 minute mark, turn the heat down a touch.
  7. Enjoy!

To make these Mashed Potato Croquettes I mixed some green onions, ham, cheddar cheese, an egg, and some Ranch seasoning into leftover mashed potatoes. I coated them in Panko crumbs and fried them until crispy in a pan with some oil. Then I mixed some more Ranch seasoning into sour cream for a flavorful finish. Add the cream and butter to the potatoes and mash well. Place them through a potato ricer to remove lumps or mix them with a hand mixer or a standing mixer with the paddle attachment until smooth.
