Ingredients for Potato Croquettes
- 21 oz potatoes
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
- 1 bunch parsley
- to taste salt
- 2.8 oz diced cooked ham
- 6.3 oz scamorza cheese
How to prepare Potato Meatballs in an air fryer
First, peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut them into pieces. Let the potatoes cook in water for about 25-30 minutes. The cooking time for potatoes depends on their quality and size, so test the doneness by piercing them with a fork.
Drain the potatoes, transfer them to a bowl, and mash them with a potato masher. Add a pinch of salt, the grated parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
Add 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs and mix well using just a fork. Divide the cooked ham and scamorza, or another soft and melting cheese, into small pieces.
Take a handful of the mixture and flatten it between your hands. Place a few cubes of cooked ham and scamorza in the center and carefully close to form the Potato Meatball.
As you prepare them, roll them in breadcrumbs on all sides. Arrange them on an oiled baking sheet. Lightly oil the surface and let them cook in a hot oven at 392°F for 16-18 minutes.

Loredana’s Tips
If any Croquettes are leftover, store them in a container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Just reheat them for a few minutes in a hot oven or microwave
