Crocchette di Patate e Parmigiano

Crocchette di patate e parmigiano are traditional Italian croquettes stuffed with potatoes and cheese. The dish is usually made with a combination of potatoes, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, eggs, salt, pepper, flour, breadcrumbs, and olive oil. The boiled potatoes are grated or passed through a ricer and mixed with grated cheese, beaten eggs, and seasonings. The mixture is molded into croquette shapes or cylinders, rolled in flour, dipped in beaten eggs, coated with breadcrumbs, and fried in oil until golden. Once drained, the croquettes are typically served with lemon wedges on the side.
