Potato Croquettes (Stuffed, Fried Mashed Potatoes)

Potato Croquettes (Stuffed, Fried Mashed Potatoes)

Our potato croquettes or, stuffed fried mashed potatoes in this case is made from 5 large russet potatoes.

We placed our potatoes in a pot and boiled them until they were fork tender.
The Russets are the best for these potatoes as they have high starch content and keep their structure together best.
I prefer mashed potatoes with yellow yukon potatoes, but these are the best for croquettes or hash browns.
