Boil the potatoes in plenty of salted water until soft. Drain, peel, and mash them with a potato masher until you get a smooth puree.
Cut the porchetta into small pieces.
Incorporate it into the potato puree. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavor. Add salt if necessary.
Take a portion of the mixture and form croquettes in the shape you prefer: round or elongated.
Coat the croquettes in breadcrumbs, making sure they are well covered on all sides for perfect crispness.
Place the croquettes in the air fryer basket, without overlapping, leaving some space between each for even cooking.
Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden and perfectly crispy.
Serve the porchetta croquettes hot, just cooked, accompanied by sauces of your choice or simply with a side of vegetables.
Tips and Storage
Tips:
• For more golden and even croquettes, lightly brush them with a bit of oil before cooking in the air fryer.
• If you prefer, you can add chopped aromatic herbs such as rosemary or parsley to the potato puree for extra flavor.
• Do not overload the fryer basket: leave space between the croquettes for even and crisp cooking.
Storage:
• Cooked croquettes remain soft for 1-2 days in the refrigerator, in an airtight container.
• They can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes, so they remain crispy.
• It is possible to freeze them raw, already formed and breaded: just cook them directly from frozen, increasing the cooking time by a few minutes.
