Croquettes or crocchette di patata<\/h4>\n

As a kid, croquettes were my favourite. I remember buying them from a shop near my school together with sausages whenever I had to stay longer at school for extra curricular activities. We would eat them on a picnic bench inside the park next to our school. If you too love potatoes and sausages you are going to find this recipe irresistible, I promise, and so are all your Aperitivo guests. Let’s start shall we?<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h5>\n

Tarallini for your breadcrumbs (traditional<\/a><\/strong> or with<\/strong> fennel<\/strong><\/a>)
\nFennel seeds and dried sage
\nParmesan
\nWhite potatoes ( 5 medium to make 6 giant croquettes)
\n1 slice Italian sausage
\nprovolone cheese 40 grams
\nextra virgin olive oil<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"croquettes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h5>\n

First, peel and cut your potatoes.<\/p>\n

\"croquettes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then place them in water to boil.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, take your plain tarallini, add them to a food processor and add fennel seeds. Blitz until you reach a breadcrumbs consistency. (PS: if you don’t like fennel seeds, you can add another herb instead)<\/p>\n

\"croquettes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When the potatoes have cooked, take them off the heat, transfer them to a bowl, and mash them with a fork.<\/p>\n

\"croquettes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle some olive oil. I also added some dried sage.<\/p>\n

\"croquettes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, take your sausage, remove the skin and add the sausage to the potatoes. Mix everything until combined.<\/p>\n

\"croquettes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Grate the parmesan on top of the potatoes and sausage, and combine.<\/p>\n

\"croquettes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cut your provolone into cubes, and set aside.<\/p>\n

\"croquettes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Start making the croquettes by taking a big spoon of potatoes mixture, placing it in your hand, adding a cube of\u00a0 cheese into the middle, and then adding some more potatoes mixture on top. Close with your hands so that a big ball is formed.<\/p>\n

\"croquettes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Repeat until you use all the mixture and cheese.<\/p>\n

Then, roll each croquette into the tarallini crumbs. Roll them multiple times so you get more crumbs around the croquettes for extra crispiness.<\/p>\n

\"croquettes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Heat a pan with some extra virgin olive oil, and add the croquettes to lightly fry.<\/p>\n

\"croquettes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every few minutes turn the croquettes on one of the sides, and repeat until all croquettes are browned.<\/p>\n

Take off the heat, and serve on a bed of lettuce, perhaps with your favourite Aperitivo drink.<\/p>\n

Tips<\/h5>\n

For a vegetarian version, replace the sausage with sundried tomatoes<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
