For the potato croquettes, steam or boil the peeled potatoes and then strain while still hot. Stir the hot, strained potatoes with butter, egg yolks, salt and nutmeg briefly in a saucepan on the stove until smooth. The less stirring, the firmer and better the mixture will be.
On a board dusted with flour, form the potato mixture into thumb-thick rolls and cut into small pieces (about 5 cm long) and refrigerate.
Coat the potato croquettes in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs and fry them briefly in hot oil. Then drain and serve hot.
Preparation Tip:
The potato croquettes recipe goes well with just about any main dish with sauce!
