Equipment

  • 1 air fryer
  • 1 mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions or chives
  • 2-3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko works well for extra crunch)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, egg, flour, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Take about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and form it into a small log or ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  • Coat each croquette in breadcrumbs. Ensure they are evenly coated.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Place the croquettes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray them with cooking spray. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the croquettes hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like ketchup, sour cream, or a spicy aioli.
