Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, skins intact
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 1/2 cup finely minced onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons achiote paste, or smoked paprika
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups arugula
- 2 limes, halved
Instructions
- For the croquettes: Put the potatoes in a heavy medium pot and cover with cold water. Stir in the salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until very tender, about 30 minutes.
- While the potatoes simmer, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the achiote paste or smoked paprika, if using, mix well until combined, and remove from the heat. Set aside.
- Drain the potatoes, cool until able to handle, and peel. Mash them in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher. Add the mozzarella cheese and onion mixture and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide the mixture into 8 balls and flatten them into 3-inch patties.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-heat until hot. Fry the croquettes in 2 batches, turning over once, until a crust forms. Drain on paper towels. Carefully transfer the croquettes to a platter. Top with the arugula and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Squeeze lime juice on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
