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.

I made these with the mashed potoates leftover from Thanksgiving and it was yummy! Instead of breadcrumbs, I used panko breadcrumbs and they gave it a little crunch that I don't think plain breadcrumbs would have given them. Panko breadcrumbs are really bland, so I seasoned them with salt, pepper & some grated parmesean cheese. My family devoured them in less than 5 minutes!

My mom used to make these for special occasions, only she shaped them into little logs, like fat breakfast sausages, which I did. I used leftover mashed potatoes (I intentionally made a huge batch which were already infused with butter, half-and-half, salt and pepper. It is very important to use Yukon Gold potatoes instead of Russets, which have no flavor. I used very small Yukon Golds. I followed the recipe but found that it helped to put the pre-formed logs in the freezer before I dipped them into the egg and bread crumbs. Otherwise, they fell apart. Also, I used Panko bread crumbs instead of the regular Italian bread crumbs (I did a head-to-head comparison and the croquettes with the Italian bread crumbs fell apart, while the ones with Panko were awesome. The extremely finely chopped green onions are key to the delicate flavor. Way to go, Paula!!
