Potato Croquettes without Eggs
A tasty appetizer that we can enjoy any day, from a simple Monday to Easter lunch (for example)! Croquettes made with potatoes, cheese, and mozzarella then coated in breadcrumbs but without eggs. For cooking, I chose to fry them, but if you prefer a lighter version, you can also bake them or use an air fryer. Potato croquettes are a staple in the classic Italian fried appetizer.

Steps
For the preparation of potato croquettes without eggs watch the video HERE.
Boil the potatoes, drain them and then mash them. Add a pinch of salt, turmeric, and mix.
Add the cheese, mix, and let cool. Once the mixture is cool, take some with your hands and shape it, placing a piece of mozzarella in the center to form the croquette.
Continue until the mixture is used up. Place them in the fridge/freezer for about an hour.
In a bowl, mix the flour, a bit of salt, and water. Dip the croquettes first in the batter, then in breadcrumbs.
You can either bake them or fry in hot oil for a few minutes.
Enjoy your meal!
