1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper

Coating:

Directions:
Mix the mashed potatoes, egg, parsley, salt and pepper until well combined.

Place the flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs in three separate trays or bowls.

Take a handful of potato mixture, shaping into a log shape or ball, and dip into flour, then egg and then breadcrumbs; repeat - yes twice
Place on a plate or tray (dusted with cornmeal or breadcrumbs) and refrigerate for about an hour.

When ready to cook/eat, heat some grape seed or peanut oil in a small pot, over medium high heat, so that the croquettes may be deep fried.

Fry two or three at a time, depending on how many fit, carefully turning (with tongs) once, until evenly browned.
Remove, and place on towel-lined plate to cool a little.
Continue with the rest of the potato mixture until it is all finished. You can keep the first ones hot in the oven, until the rest are done.
