How to Make Potato Croquettes Neapolitan Recipe
Make slits with a knife in the potatoes, then cook them in the microwave for 10 minutes on high. Alternatively, boil them in salted water for 40 minutes.
When done, take a bowl and mash them with a potato masher, season with salt and mix.
Add the eggs, diced salami, and mix well.
With your hands, take a little bit of the mixture, place a piece of cheese in the center and close it inside the mixture to form an oval ball.
For the batter: combine water, flour, and a pinch of salt, then dip the croquettes in the batter and then in breadcrumbs.
Fry in preheated oil for a few seconds until golden, drain on paper towels, and serve hot and cheesy.
