Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Place the potatoes into a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until tender enough to easily pierce with a fork. Drain and toss gently over low heat for a minute to completley dry out. Press them through a sieve or just mash with a potato masher until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix in the butter and egg yolk, then spread out on a tray to cool.
- Preheat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). The oil is the proper temperature when a cube of bread browns in about 15 seconds.
- In a large bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese and spinach. Blend in the mashed potatoes. On a floured surface, using floured hands, roll small handfuls of the mixture into cylinders about 3/4 inch thick and 2 1/2 inches long. Tap the ends to flatten.
- Season 1/2 cup of flour with salt and pepper and place on a tray. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and peanut oil. Place the bread crumbs into a separate shallow bowl. Roll the croquettes in seasoned flour, then dip into the egg and then coat with bread crumbs.
- Fry the croquettes a few at a time, so they have some room in between, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Carefully remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on crumpled paper towels.

This recipe turned out well. Like a previous comment said, the consistency was a bit mushier than the typical croquette but it was still good. I doubled the amount of spinach that the recipe cal...

Excellent, I made it and it turns out to be good. I had to use olive oil instead of peanut oil and it still didn't ruin the work. I recommend to dry out the spinach if not it will be too soggy. ...

I began with leftover garlic mashed potatoes and pan fried, but followed the rest of the recipe. We really enjoyed these with a sweet chili dipping sauce.

I followed the recipe with one substitution - I used Swiss cheese, that is what I had, but it was a nice aged hard and dryish cheese. I shaped them and floured them and popped them on a parchme...
