But, these potato croquettes are even better with our cheddar cheese powder, which adds the perfect touch of rich, cheesy goodness.

This recipe is made with our instant mashed potato powder, made from cooked farm-fresh potatoes. This powder is very convenient and allows you to make potato recipes in a fraction of the time with far less mess and clean up.

For these delicious croquettes, here is what you need and how to make them:

Ingredients:

1 cup instant mashed potato powder
1 ¼ cup water
2 tbsp butter powder
2 tbsp cheddar cheese powder
1 tsp organic garlic powder
1 tsp organic black pepper powder
2 tsp (more or less to taste) himalayan salt - extra fine
½ tsp chili flakes
Optional - 1 inch fresh ginger root finely chopped
Optional - 2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

For the coating:

½ cup bread crumbs
¼ cup corn starch
¼ cup water
¼ tsp organic black pepper powder
1 tsp (more or less to taste) himalayan salt - extra fine
Oil for frying

Directions:

Add 1 ¼ cup water to a medium saucepan, remove the pan from heat once it starts to boil. Add mashed potato powder and butter powder then mix until it is fully combined, let this mixture cool down to room temperature.
Once cool, add cheddar cheese powder, salt, black pepper powder, garlic powder, chili flakes, chopped ginger & cilantro (if adding) to the mixture and make sure it is well incorporated.
Shape the croquettes by getting about a tablespoon of the potato dough, and roll into a round cylinder. Do this until all of the dough has been rolled, this recipe should yield about 25 croquettes.
In a small bowl combine cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and water. This will be for dipping the croquettes before frying.
In a separate bowl, add breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper. This will be the crispy coating.
Take each croquette, one at a time and dip into the cornstarch mixture, making sure the croquettes are completely coated. Then roll the croquettes in the bread crumb coating, making sure there is an even layer on each one.
Deep fry, shallow fry, or pan fry the croquettes in hot oil. Alternatively, preheat and bake at 350 F for 25 minutes.
Fry the croquettes on medium heat until they are golden and crispy.
Finally, drain the finished croquettes on a paper towel in order to remove excess oil.
Serve the cheesy potato croquettes with mushroom gravy or tomato sauce.
Enjoy!!
