The potato croquettes are perfect for any occasion. We can prepare them in advance and cook them at the moment to enjoy them hot. Today I propose potato croquettes to be baked or air fried, soft and tasty. Inside the dough, I added grated lemon zest which gave the croquettes an extra touch. Come with me and let’s start cooking right away.
Happy cooking, Giusi.

Ingredients
If you haven’t tried it yet, I recommend trying gluten-free breadcrumbs or turmeric breadcrumbs (You can find them at the supermarket) they give more crunchiness to the breading.
- 14 oz potatoes, peeled, boiled
- 1.5 oz Grated cheese
- 1 Egg
- 3.5 oz breadcrumbs (+ extra for outer breading)
- to taste Parsley
- to taste salt
- 1 lemon (Grated zest)
Steps
After boiling and peeling the potatoes, put them in a bowl and mash them with a potato masher or fork.
Add the grated cheese, the parsley, a pinch of salt, the egg, the breadcrumbs, the lemon zest and mix well.Take a small piece of dough and start to shape the croquettes, mold with your hands to form a cylinder.
Once all the croquettes are made, roll them in breadcrumbs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 356°F fan oven for 20 minutes or at 374°F conventional oven for 20 minutes.
The potato croquettes are ready to be enjoyed.
