These crispy potato croquettes are a few steps up from traditional ones as they have the addition of delicious melted cheddar cheese in the middle and are covered in crunchy Panko breadcrumbs. Top them with ketchup and fresh parsley for even greater flavor and a lovely presentation. And don’t feel too guilty if you can’t stop eating them since they’re baked instead of fried! Once you’ve made these wonderful little bites, share the recipe with family and friends on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter!

Begin by boiling potatoes in water until tender. Time will vary based on the size of the potatoes, but it should take approximately 30-40 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450°F. In the meantime, mash the potatoes with a fork and add up to ¼ cup of water to make them stick together a bit more, if necessary. Add the grated Cabot Sharp Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper, and mix until completely incorporated.

Form the potato and cheese mixture into 12 large croquettes (if you wish to make more croquettes, you can form smaller ones). Coat each croquette in flour, dip into the egg mixture, and cover in the Panko breadcrumbs. Then place the croquettes on a baking sheet and generously spray each croquette with cooking spray. Bake until lightly golden brown and cheese begins to bubble out, about 15-20 minutes.
