Step 1

Start by making homemade mashed potatoes or purchasing mashed potatoes. The key is to make sure that the mashed potatoes are cold before starting. So, if you make them, place them into the refrigerator until cold.

Step 2

If you make homemade mashed potatoes, use a fork to mash them, add the butter, salt, and black pepper, mix well.

Step 3

Use your hands to shape the mashed potatoes into croquettes, then in one bowl, add the egg, and in the other bowl, add the bread crumbs and oil. Mix the bread crumb mixture well.

Step 4

Dip your Potato Croquettes into the egg mixture and then into the Bread Crumb Mixture. As you coat them, place them into a greased air fryer basket.

Step 5

When the basket or tray is full, Air Fry for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees F, air fryer setting. Flip the potato croquettes halfway during the cooking process.
