# Detailed Preparation Steps:
01 -
Grab a big bowl and blend the cold mashed potatoes with the cheese, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until it’s smooth and combined.
02 -
Mold the mixture into balls or logs about the size of golf balls. Lay them out on a tray and pop them into the fridge for 10 minutes so they firm up.
03 -
Get three small bowls ready — one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs for coating.
04 -
Take each croquette and cover it in flour first, then dip into the eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumbs so they stick well.
05 -
Heat oil in a deep pan on medium until it’s hot but not smoking. Cook the croquettes in batches, turning every now and then until they’re crispy and golden all over, about 3 to 4 minutes each batch.
06 -
Lift them out with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels. Eat right away with your favorite dip.
# Helpful Tips:

Chilling the shaped croquettes helps them hold together during frying.
