Potato Croquettes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

mashed potatoes (made from 4 cooked potatoes)
1/2 c. grated Cheddar cheese
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground pepper
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 egg white
1 c. fine dry bread crumbs (Italian style)
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 to 2 qt. vegetable oil

Preparation

Combine the potatoes with the Cheddar cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Taste for seasoning and blend in the egg yolk.
Beat the egg white lightly in a shallow bowl.
Combine the bread crumbs and Romano cheese in a second bowl.
Shape spoonfuls of the mashed potatoes into 20 even-sized balls and flatten each one slightly. Dip each croquette into the beaten egg white and then into the cheese-crumb mixture, being sure to coat each one evenly.
