Instructions

  1. 1. Take the mozzarella out of the packaging the day before. Place it in a sieve and put it in the fridge to drain well.
  2. 2. Boil the potatoes in plenty of salted water until soft. Drain them and let them steam for a moment. Peel the potatoes and press them through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Make sure no lumps remain.
  3. 3. Separate two eggs. Add only the egg yolks to the warm potato mixture. Add butter in flakes. Season generously with salt and grated nutmeg. Mix everything well. Now add the potato starch and knead the mixture until smooth.
  4. 4. Cut the drained mozzarella into small cubes of about 3 x 1 cm size.
  5. 5. Prepare the breading station. Whisk the egg whites of the two eggs together with one whole egg and a little milk until smooth. Place three plates ready: one with flour, one with the egg-milk mixture, and one with breadcrumbs.
  6. 6. Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C.
  7. 7. Scoop a large tablespoon of the potato mixture. Roll it into a ball and then flatten it in your palm. Place a piece of mozzarella in the center. Seal the potato mixture around the cheese. Roll the mixture into an oval shape and shape the ends. Roll the croquette first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Make sure it is covered everywhere so the crumbs stick. Repeat this with the remaining dough.
  8. 8. Place the breaded croquettes in the air fryer basket. Spray them carefully with oil or brush them with a brush. Bake them in the preheated device for 6 minutes at 200 °C until crispy.
