Did you know that potato croquettes are a staple in Japanese family restaurants, Chef? So much nostalgia and comfort in a single video!!! 💜💜💜 We enjoy dipping ours in a mix of BBQ sauce and mayo! 😋😋😋 It's like a nice warm hug for your insides!!!

Fried cheezy potatoes. What more can we ask?

two of my favorites in one video, potatoes and chef frank :D

“Buy good cheese!” Words to live by.

Add some chopped cilantro or parsley into the mashed potatoes and it'll become more aromatic. That's what my mother does. She also add some starch to make it chewier haha, and she fill in some minced meat (cook the meat with some garlic and onion and a lil butter, also salt and pepper) then add the mozz cheese. Maybe you can try our recipe Frank, but I love your croquettes too, yeah croquettes are my favourite too, with or without fillings. 🥰😍

ty for the recipe and wonderfull tips, we love u Frank!

That looks absolutely delicious!

I think if you boil with skin on you retain more starch in the potato.

Heck yeah

really nice recipe, looks awesome gonna try that out! Personally I always used smaller mozzarella sticks and less potato-dough so the croquettes are overall a lot smaller but it give s you more surface per volume so its just more crunchy

A very nice recip

Ok, this does it, I need an oil thermometer! I'm always either under heating or over heating my oil when I fry stuff. I think that I need to practice a bunch with the aid of a thermometer until I learn to identify what the ideal temperature is. These croquettes look scrumptious!

Need a cookbook

My mom's way is usually to steam the potatoes skin-on (if anyone would like to do it skin-off, it's fine), then peel when they're still hot, and mash it straight away. This way, the potatoes shouldn't absorb too much water, compared to the boiling method (but as always, do it the way that suits you the best). As for the fillings... Indonesian croquette(s) originated from the Dutch croquettes (with meat fillings), I believe, so she usually held back on seasoning the potatoes as the meat fillings already has enough seasonings.

Damn, these look great!

In Italy potatoes are basically always boiled with the skin on to keep some water out and then peeled (we do not eat skin-on potatoes). Also we always rice them, the handheld masher is even hard to find in shops.

Fish spatulas are *the best*. So useful!

Such a great idea with the cheese in the middle. It is also a way to use leftover mashed potatoes. I remember Jacques Pepin did the basic croquette with leftover mashed potatoes. He should have used your idea with the mozzarella!

Chef Frank's love language: potatoes and cheese!

I'm trying, Frank. I'm trying #TimeToTaste

I made these for Thanksgiving last year. I made them into a pear shape, then put a clove into the tip of them, just for presentation purposes. I did not think to put motz into the middle, that's genius

I love croquettes...after watching this video, I think I'm going to have some... ALso, I would like to see Chef Frank cook Japanese curry and rice.

Frank , I so much enjoy your videos. What about if we make it in the oven , baked instead of fried. As a more healthy alternative. Greetings from Athens .

L-O-V-E my ricer, but I'm kinda jealous of yours (holes on all sides would be really nice). A couple things (for those who like their croquettes extra crispy) a little cornstarch in the flour helps with that, and so does making them more flat (~3/4"), yum.

Chef Frank, how is it that when you season so heavily you don't get really salty potato where it was in contact with the salt, and really bland elsewhere - does it just spread itself out as you mix? Thanks for another great video 😊

Drop a jalapeño, two garlic cloves, a half a white onion, and two tomatoes in the blender with salt and pepper. Blend throughouly, and then cook in a pot with olive oil until it changes color. Serve the croquets and top with the tomato sauce. This is how I've eaten these croquets. This is the Mexican twist! Oh, and try stuffing the croquets with canned tuna. It's hell doing it, but delicious!

Just curious on how you do the Spanish version with meat stuffings in it?

#TimeToTaste Crunchy, cheesy, potato goodness!

Chef, do you like to serve them with anything else? Salad? Any particular sauce? As for your grandma boiling potatoes with skin on, I can think of at least two reasons - it's less effort because the skin comes out by itself after boiling and there is less waste of potatoes (unless you later fry the skins :)). My grandma, living in much tougher, poorer times, always paid a lot of attention to minimizing food waste, so it might have been the same case :)

Since I'm not Italian it probably is of no consequence if I say that I might serve these with marinara on the side. ;) #timetotaste

Hmmm, so you start pealing the top of the potato first? How do you identify the top of a potato? I think I have been doing it backwards all of these years. Just curious.

I don't think it matters which end, but you get both ends, then "connect the dots" when you finish peeling. Never thought to do it this way, but it makes sense.

Can this be made with an air fryer?

I have never used one but I’m sure they could

I'm surprised you'd use a flat tool to lift the potatoes out of the boiling oil. I would have used tongs. The idea of it rolling off and splashing terrifies me, but then I don't bother with deep frying.

My childhood neighbor who taught me how to make croquettes salted the water with garlic-salt instead of salt. It seems to me if this was the right thing to do, I’d think you’d see it being done. Why shouldn’t I be salting water with garlic salt?
