Ingredients

4 Large Baking Potatoes That have been scrubbed

3 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 egg yolks

Pinch of grated nutmeg

Pinch of salt

Pinch of black pepper

2 Tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese

oil for deep frying

3/4 cup all-pupose flour

2 eggs lightly beaten

1/2 cup of grounded almonds

2/3 cup of chopped almonds

Directions

1. Preheat the ove to 375 degrees. Pricjk the potatoes several times with a fork to allow the steam to escape while baking. This is done so the Potatoes doesn't burts while baking. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the potatoes are cooked through and are tender to the point of a knife or soft to the squeeze of the index finger and thumb.

2. Cut the potatoes in half and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. While the flesh is still warm, gently mash it. Then stir in the butter, egg yolks, nutmeg, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.

3. Preheat a deep-fat fryer or a deep saucepan, to 1/3 full of oil to 360-375. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Then spread out on a large shallow dish. Place the slightly beaten egg into another dish. Mix together the ground and chopped almonds then spread into another dish.

4. With a cupped hands shape the potato mixture into small balls.. They should be about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Then between the first palams roll the balls into cylinders about 2 1/2 inches long. Lay the croquettes in a row and using a knife, flatten both endsof the croquettes to make them equal length.

5. Coat the croquettes into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and then the almonds. The deep fry them for 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately.

Note: Do not reheat or serve the croquettes covered, as their steam will make them become soggy. If you do not like almonds you can suptitute the almonds for season bread crumbs
