Ingredients

3 cups mashed potatoes, chilled

2 1/4 cups plain bread crumbs

2 ounces serrano ham (about a half-cup), diced small

1/2 cup piquillo or roasted red pepper, diced small

5 large eggs

1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, more to taste

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, optional

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste

1 cup all-purpose flour

Olive oil or vegetable oil, for frying.

Directions

In a large bowl, combine potatoes, 3/4 cup bread crumbs, ham, pepper, 1 egg, the yolk, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, paprika (if using) and salt.

Mix well.

Place remaining 4 eggs in a wide, shallow bowl and beat lightly. Place remaining 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs in a second bowl and flour in a third.

Season bread crumbs with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Taking about 2 tablespoons of croquetas mixture at a time, form into 3-inch

fingers.

Dip each finger first in flour, tapping off excess. Dip in egg

mixture, letting excess drip off, then bread crumbs. Transfer each finger to a

large baking sheet

When you have finished forming all croquetas, cover tray

with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours.

When ready to fry, heat 1/4-inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Fry croquetas in batches, turning once, until dark golden all over, 2 to minutes a side.

Transfer to paper towel-lined plates and sprinkle with

additional salt, if desired. Serve hot.

Yield: About 3 dozen croquetas.
