Bacon Puff Croquettes
Prep Time:
20 mins
Cook Time:
5 mins
Servings:
4 servings
Product:
Vortex Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 250g plain mashed potatoes*
- 4 spring onions
- 40g jalapeno
- 120g grated cheese of choice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 140g bag crisps (we used bacon crispies)
- 2 eggs, beaten
*leftover mash with lots of butter, milk or cream may yield suboptimal results in this recipe, as it will go quite soft once reheated, and not hold its shape.
Instructions
- To start your Bacon Puff Croquettes, slice the spring onions and dice the jalapeno.
- Place the crisps into a bowl and use the jalapeno jar to crush them into fine crumbs.
- Add the eggs into another small bowl and whisk.
- Place the mashed potato, grated cheese, jalapeno, spring onions and salt and pepper to taste into a bowl and stir to combine.
- Form handfuls of the mash into 6-8 squat batons.
- Dip the potato batons into eggs, then into the chip crumbs, then back into the eggs and into the crumbs again before placing it onto a plate.
- Repeat with the remaining potato until all the potato batons are breaded into croquettes.
- Place in the freezer for 10 minutes. This will help them keep their shape while cooking
- Place the croquettes into the air fryer and Air Fry at 200°C for 4-5 mins. Remove and serve your Bacon Puff Croquettes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce
