Potato croquettes or sandwich base are a delicious option for a snack or side dish, easily made with just a few simple ingredients.
To prepare them, start by boiling the potatoes until they’re soft. Once cooked, mash them and mix with cornmeal, which gives a crunchy texture and a slightly sweet flavor.
Add salt, pepper, or paprika, and if you wish, herbs for a hint of freshness.
Shape small croquettes with the mixture and bake in a hot oven until golden.
These croquettes are not only delicious on their own but can also serve as a sandwich base. Just place between two croquettes a filling of grilled vegetables, cheese, and cured ham for a tasty and creative meal.
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s make these potato croquettes or sandwich base together.
Oh boy, they are good!

Steps
Potato croquettes or sandwich base, to be served hot as a side dish or for a quick meal.
Wash and peel the old yellow-fleshed potatoes.
Cut the potatoes into large pieces and boil them in plenty of salted water for about 15 minutes (not cooking the potatoes whole halves the cooking time).
Meanwhile, in a bowl, chop half a clove of garlic, add a little oil, and a teaspoon of paprika.
Drain the potatoes and mix them with the garlic and paprika, mash them with a fork, and let them cool.
Add the potato starch and flour, adjust salt if necessary.
Form the potato croquettes and bake in the oven at 356°F until golden, in my oven for about 25 minutes.
You will get croquettes that are soft inside and crunchy outside.
You can use the croquettes as a base for delicious sandwiches with vegetables or even just with fontina and prosciutto.
