These air fryer potato croquettes are the perfect party food or snack that combines creamy potatoes with crispy bites. You’ll be the hero of any gathering!
Equipment
- Air-fryer
- Large pot
- Mixing bowl
- Potato Masher
- Baking sheet
- Spray Bottle (for oil)
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheese of your choice
- ¼ cup green onions chopped
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko
- 1 large egg beaten
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth. Mix in the cheese, green onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Allow the mixture to cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes to help it firm up.
- Once cooled, take a tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into small logs or patties.
- Dip each croquette in the beaten egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat well.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil and place the croquettes in a single layer. Spray the tops lightly with oil.
- Air fry at 375°F for about 15 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
- Serve hot and enjoy those perfect little bites of joy!
Notes
- If you’d like to make ahead, you can freeze the shaped croquettes and air fry them straight from frozen—just add a few extra minutes to the cook time.
- For an extra crunchy coating, double-dip in the egg and breadcrumbs!
