Cheesy potatoes and mushrooms croquettes

Method

• 1

  In a bowl, combine the warm mashed potatoes, egg yolk, Parmigiano, well-drained chopped mushrooms, salt, pepper, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Mix until you get a uniform, workable dough.

• 2

  Take a portion of the mixture, place a stick of smoked scamorza cheese in the center, and shape it into a log-shaped croquette around the cheese.

• 3

  Bread each croquette by dredging it first in flour, then dipping it in the beaten egg, and finally coating it thoroughly in breadcrumbs.

• 4

  Fry the croquettes in hot Frienn frying oil by Olitalia (170–175°C / 340–350°F) until evenly golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot while the cheese is melted and gooey./p>
