2 cups mashed potatoes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 egg, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, and beaten egg. Mix until well combined.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Shape the mixture into small balls or ovals, about the size of a golf ball.
Roll each croquette in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep.
Fry the croquettes in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the croquettes from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot, with your choice of dipping sauce.

Variations & Tips
For a different flavor profile, try adding cooked bacon bits or diced ham to the potato mixture. You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as mozzarella or gouda, for a unique twist. If you prefer baking over frying, place the croquettes on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden and crispy. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
