Garlic bread croquettes are a delightful fusion of two beloved comfort foods: garlic bread and croquettes. These crispy, golden delights are perfect for any occasion, combining the rich, savory flavors of garlic and butter with the satisfying crunch of breaded potatoes. Whether you're hosting a party or just craving something delicious, garlic bread croquettes will surely hit the spot.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks.
- Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover with water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the water, then mash the potatoes until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Do not let the garlic brown.
- Remove from heat and stir in the finely chopped parsley. Set aside.
- Once the mashed potatoes have cooled, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the garlic butter mixture over the mashed potatoes and stir until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
- Take about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture in your hands and roll it into a small cylinder or oval shape.
- Repeat until all the mixture is used up. You should have about 12-15 croquettes.
- Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish.
- Place the beaten eggs in another shallow dish.
- Place the bread crumbs in a third shallow dish.
- Dredge each croquette first in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Ensure they are evenly coated on all sides.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the croquettes in the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Fry the croquettes until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the garlic bread croquettes hot as an appetizer or side dish. They pair wonderfully with a marinara sauce or a garlic aioli for dipping.
Tips:
- 1: Ensure your mashed potatoes are smooth and free of lumps for a better texture in the croquettes.
- 2: Chill the croquettes in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes before frying to help them hold their shape better.
- 3: Experiment with different herbs and cheeses in the potato mixture to create your own unique flavor profile.
- 4: For an extra crispy exterior, double-dip the croquettes in the egg and breadcrumbs before frying.
- 5: Fry the croquettes in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature and make the croquettes greasy.
Once you've fried your garlic bread croquettes to perfection, you'll be rewarded with a mouthwatering dish that's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. These croquettes are not only bursting with flavor but also easy to make. Perfect for appetizers, snacks, or even a side dish, garlic bread croquettes are sure to become a favorite in your culinary repertoire.
