Ingredients
- 4 potatoes, scrubbed
- 3/4 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
Method
- Put a pan of salted water on to boil. Add the unpeeled potatoes and boil, covered, for about 20 minutes, or until they are soft, and completely cooked through.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Drain the potatoes and , when are cool enough, peel them. Mash them well in a wide bowl. Add the beef, parmesan, egg, and salt, and mix thoroughly with your hands.
- Roll into balls about the size of small walnuts and then flatten them a bit into little ovals.
- Put the bread crumbs on a plate and pat the croquettes in them to coat both sides. Drizzle about 2 1/2 tablespoons of oil over the bottom of a large baking pan, spreading it around witht the back of a spoon.
- Pack the croquettes like tight soldiers on the pan and drizzle lightly with another couple of tablespoons of oil.
- Put the pan in the oven and bake the croquettes for about 30 minutes, or until the undersides are nicely golden and a bit crisp. Turn them over gently and bake for another 10 minutes, or longer if necessary, until the new undersides become nicely golden,
- Serve warm or at room temperature with a small scattering of salt, if you think they need it.
