Sweet Potato Croquettes
- 3 sweet potatoes large, cooked
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
- salt
- pepper
- seasoned bread crumbs Italian
- vegetable oil
- Peel the potatoes, place into a bowl along with the milk and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth. Stir in the shredded cheddar.
- Using a cookie scoop, form the mixture into balls. Then roll the sweet potato balls in breadcrumbs. Place on a baking sheet or dish and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm them up a bit.
- In a large pan add about a 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. Heat over medium high heat. To test the oil, drop in a pinch of breadcrumb, if it gently bubbles around the breadcrumb then you are ready to go.
- Add in several of the croquettes and gently press down with a spatula to flatten just slightly. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Place onto paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
