2 - chipotle chilies in Adobo sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
POTATO CROQUETTES
2 cups leftover mashed potatoes, chilled
3 large eggs, divided
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, finely chopped

How To Make potato croquettes with chipotle aioli

Step 1

Mix the aioli ingredients in a small bowl. If you like more spice, add more chipotle and adobo sauce. Cover and chill.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, blend the mashed potatoes with one egg, Italian parsley, butter, salt, and pepper. Add 3/4 - 1 cup of flour to make it stiff enough to form balls. For coating, in three separate bowls, have the three beaten eggs, the remaining 1 cup of flour, and bread crumbs.
Step 3

Heat oil in a deep pot to 370 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with paper towels.
Step 4

Form potato balls and first coat them with egg.
Step 5

Then coat it with flour.
Step 6

Then coat it with egg again.
Step 7

Then, finally, coat it with the bread crumbs.
Step 8

Working in batches of 3 - 4, fry them for 2 - 3 minutes until golden brown. Place them on the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while frying the remaining croquettes.
