Instructions

1
Wash and peel potatoes, but leave whole. Place in a pan with just enough cold water to cover.
2
Add 2 teaspoons of salt and bring to a boil for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Drain.
3
Pass potatoes through a ricer or a sieve so they're very finely mashed.
4
Add shredded cheese, chives, remaining salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly.
5
To make croquettes, use your hands to roll potato mixture into tater tot size cylinders and place on a baking sheet. (Or use a piping bag with a 1 inch tip to pipe long strips onto a baking sheet then cut into even size pieces.) Chill 15 minutes.
6
In a small bowl, whisk eggs together with mustard. On a large plate, mix bread crumbs and parsley together. Dip croquettes in eggs then bread crumbs.
7
Heat oil in a large heavy pan to 375ºF.
8
Working in batches, carefully lower a few croquettes into hot oil and fry 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately or keep in oven on lowest setting until ready to serve (up to 20 minutes).

Chef's Note: These Spanish style treats are wonderful for tapas and can be changed as desired by adding different herbs or small diced cooked bacon to potato mixture before breading.
