Potato And Cabbage Croquettes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb mashed potatoes (3 cups)
8 ounces cabbage or 8 ounces kale, steamed and shredded
1 egg, beaten
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
nutmeg, grated
salt
black pepper
all-purpose flour (for coating)
vegetable oil (for frying)

Preparation

Mix the potatoes with the cabbage or kale, egg, cheese, nutmeg and seasoning. Divide and shape into eight croquettes.
Chill for an hour or so, if possible, to firm the croquettes and make them easier to fry.
Toss the chilled croquettes in flour.
Heat about a half an inch of oil in a pan until quite hot, and fry the croquettes about 3 minutes each side until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels and serve hot and crisp.
