I tweaked it a little; I had leftover instant mashed potatoes to firm them up into a rolling consistency I mixed in more instant potato flakes and a whole egg, skipping the milk and flour. I also added garlic powder, onion flakes, a dash of cayenne and chopped chives. I didn't roll in the egg yolk, just in the bread crumbs but it still worked. Important tips for success: make sure your peanut oil is hot enough (just starting to smoke, the patty is not too thick or it wont be done in the middle, the consistency is not too soft or they will fall apart, and you are not over crowding the pan. I fried 3-4 only in my skillet at a time. A great way to use up those leftovers!

My first time making potato croquettes - even though I love ordering them at restaurants - and they turned out great! I made these croquettes out of instant mashed potatoes and they were still delicious. I will admit to one change: I used panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs since there is more crunch with panko.

Terrific way to use leftover mashed potatoes. I used seasoned panko bread crumbs, which gave them a very crispy coating. I fried the croquettes in canola oil (a little healthier. Once I finished, I reheated them all at 325 degrees for 10 minutes in the oven. They were a hit with my family.

These were very good, i used a shallot instead of green onion and put more in, plus cheese would have added some flavor but still very good

Wow - THIS IS A KEEPER! I made a few modifications after reading the reviews. I used 3 finely chopped green onions, 2 finely chopped garlic cloves. I also added about 1/2 cup of some leftover whole milk ricotta cheese to the potato mixture as well. Used Panko bread crumbs seasoned with S&P and parmesan cheese. OMG. Will definely make these again whenever we have leftover mashed potatoes. Thanks Paula.

This recipe is nothing like what Paula did on the TV show. She used left over mashed potatoes, 3 to 4 chopped green onions, 2 egg yolks, fresh (soft bread crumbs, and peanut oil for frying. You mix the first 3 ingredients together. Roll the mixture in patties. Then coat in bread crumbs. (Paula stressed the freash bread crumbs because they work the best. You then carefully fry the patties turning carefully so they don't break. I'm trying them first chance I get. They look good! Thanks Paula.

A great recipe to use left over potato pierogy filling (potato, bacon, cheese and green onion. I use a plum or sweet thai chilli dipping sauce and accompany it with a nice baby greens salad.
