What could make mashed potatoes with Boursin® Garlic & Fine Herbs cheese even better? Two words: deep fried. This potato croquette recipe is a fantastic hot appetizer for your cocktail or event menu.
Preparation
Equipment:
Sheet Pan, Deep Fryer
For the Croquettes:
-
Peel and cook the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain.
-
Mash the potatoes with the Boursin®, butter, and cream. Season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture cool.
-
Shape the mixture into small balls or pears. Roll in the flour, then the egg wash, then the breadcrumbs. Lay the croquettes on a sheet pan and freeze.

At service, deep-fry the croquettes until browned and crisp. Drain and serve.
Chef Notes:
-
Alternately, use the potato mixture as Boursin® mashed potatoes by adding 4 ounces of milk to make them fluffier.
