Croquettas

Description:
I bought and boiled too many potatoes for my Shepherd's pie. What to do with about 1/2 kilo of mashed potatoes? Make croquettas, of course! Good thing I had leftover ground meat from our soft tacos dinner the other night and some grated cheese. Perfect!

Ingredients:
1/2 kilo of mashed potatoes (potatoes mashed with butter and milk)
flour
egg
breadcrumbs
any leftover meat (chicken, pork, beef, etc.)
grated cheese

Directions:
1. Mix mashed potatoes with leftover meat and grated cheese.

2. Put mashed potatoes with meats in refrigerator to cool. When cold enough, form into elongated ovals (or round balls, whichever you prefer) and place in a plate. Place in freezer for a few minutes.

3. Heat oil for frying.

4. Coat elongated ovals with flour then dip in beaten egg. Roll in breadcrumbs then deep fry.

5. Serve hot with salsa or any other dip. :-)
