Ingredients:
2 lbs (907 gr) potatoes, peeled, cut in 4
1 cup (250 ml) white flour
1/2 (125 ml) butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup (250 ml) grated cheese (cheddar was my choice)
Salt and pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Pinch of nutmeg
Butter or oil for frying
Directions
Cook the potatoes until tender in salted, boiling water. Drain and mash potatoes. Add the flour, butter, 1 egg and cheese. Add salt, pepper, cayenne and nutmeg. Let this cool for a while in the refrigerator. When cooled, make 2 inch balls (5 cm) X 1 1/4 inch thick croquettes (3 cm) or patties. Heat the butter or oil in a frying pan and cook the croquettes on one side until browned and crispy then turn and cook the other side until crispy and browned.
