Potatoes Rissole Recipes

CHEESE AND POTATO RISSOLES

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and mash in the bottom of the pot until no lumps remain.
• Put pot over low heat. Stir butter into the mashed potatoes; cook, stirring constantly, until the butter has melted and the potatoes are no longer moist. Spread potatoes into the bottom of a wide bowl and refrigerate until cooled completely, at least 30 minutes.
• Beat egg yolks into cooled potatoes; season with salt and white pepper. Stir Cheddar cheese and diced onion into the potatoes. Shape potato mixture into tennis ball-sized spheres, arrange into a baking dish, and refrigerate until chilled completely through, at least 1 hour.
• Beat eggs and water together in a bowl. Spread flour and bread crumbs into two separate wide bowls.
• Gently roll potato balls in flour to coat and shake to remove excess flour. Dip each into the beaten egg, turning to coat. Press each egg-coated ball into bread crumbs, again turning to coat on all sides. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded balls onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Deep-fry potato balls in batches in hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add more oil and return to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) between batches. Drain fried balls on a plate lined with paper towel.

POTATOES RISSOLE

Steps:

• 1. Place potatoes in a medium large pot and fill with cold water until potatoes are covered. Add one tablespoon of salt to pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 20 minutes until a knife pierces a potato with a little resistance. Cooking time depends on the size of the potatoes. Do not overcook or potatoes will fall apart.
• 2. Remove potatoes from the water and let cool completely in the refrigerator.
• 3. Melt three tablespoons butter in a large cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Cook cooled potatoes in butter, turning them regularly, for about 10 to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove from heat and place potatoes in a serving bowl.
• 4. Mix one tablespoon of butter with chopped herbs. Add butter and herb mixture to potatoes and toss until the butter is melted and herbs are distributed over potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

POTATO RISSOLES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes until tender; then mash them with the butter, and milk.
• Allow to cool slightly; then season with salt and pepper to taste and mix in the ham, parsley and scallions.
• Shape the mixture into slightly larger than golf ball sized portions, you should have 6-8 balls; roll each ball, to coat, in some flour.
• Heat a nice layer of the olive oil, perhaps an inch or so, in a non-stick skillet; fry rissoles (croquettes) in the oil, over medium heat, turning to make sure all sides become golden.
• When cooked, drain on paper towels; serve hot with your favorite seasoned white sauce or gravy.
• Prep and cooktimes noted above the ingredient list are approximate.
