Chef Tips

- Mash the potatoes while still hot in the ricer to obtain silky and smooth puree without dry lumps in the dough. - Lightly grease your hands with oil or cold water to roll the croquettes with a uniform and smooth finish. - Keep the vegetable oil at a temperature of 180°C during frying to brown the crust without opening the sides.

Variations

- Cheese Croquettes: insert a small cube of mozzarella or prato cheese into the center of the croquette when shaping. - Croquettes in the Air Fryer: brush with olive oil and bake at 200°C for twelve minutes turning halfway. - Corn Croquettes: add half a cup of cooked drained sweet corn to the chicken dough.

Substitutions

- A farinha de rosca pode ser substituída por farinha panko japonesa para casquinha mais aerada e estaladiça. - O purê de batata inglesa pode ser trocado por purê de mandioca bem liso ou purê de mandioquinha. - A farinha de trigo da liga pode ser substituída por amido de milho ou farinha de arroz fina.

How to Store

Guarde as croquetas fritas em recipiente fechado forrado com papel toalha na geladeira por até três dias. Para aquecer mantendo a crocância externa, coloque no forno pré-aquecido a 180°C ou na air fryer por seis minutos; evite o micro-ondas.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze the unbreaded, raw croquettes on a baking sheet for two hours, then transfer to plastic bags for up to ninety days. Fry directly frozen in hot oil at 170°C for six minutes without the need for prior defrosting.

What to Serve With

Accompany with mild homemade chili sauce, mayonnaise seasoned with garlic and lime, fresh lime slices, and very cold beer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can croquettes open or burst during frying?

This occurs if the dough is too moist, if the oil is too cold, or if there are air pockets inside the snack during shaping.

Is it mandatory to wait for the dough to cool before shaping?

Yes, the starch of the potato and flour firms up with cooling, allowing it to be rolled without sticking to the hands.

How to make the breading very firm and crispy?

Coat the croquettes in the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip off, and press gently into the breadcrumbs to cover all sides.

Can I freeze the already fried croquettes?

Yes, but the crust is less crispy than freezing raw; always reheat in a hot oven or air fryer.
