In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper—mix until well combined and everything is sticking together.

Chill the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes to help with shaping.

Roll the chilled mixture into your desired shape—cylinder, ball, or whatever floats your boat.

Roll each croquette in breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.

Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.

Place croquettes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they have space to breathe (don’t overcrowd!).

Cook for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway to ensure even cooking.

Serve warm and watch them disappear faster than you can say “delicious!” Enjoy every crispy bite!
