    These croquettes or patties are golden and crispy on the outside and cheesy and creamy on the inside. An excellent vegetable dish for a dinner party.

    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, emmenthal or gruyère)
    • Salt and pepper
    • Pinch of cayenne pepper
    • Pinch of nutmeg
    • Butter or oil for frying

    Directions

    1. 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.
