Steps
1
Boil the potatoes for about 40 minutes until tender. Drain, peel, and mash them into a smooth puree.
2
Add 1 egg, Grana Padano cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until fully combined.
3
Cut the mozzarella into sticks and drain well to remove excess moisture. Take a slice of ham and wrap it around a mozzarella stick.
4
Scoop a spoonful of the potato mixture, place the ham-wrapped mozzarella in the center, and cover with more potato mixture. Shape into a neat croquette.
5
Dip each croquette first in beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
6
Heat the oil to 340°F (170°C). Fry a few croquettes at a time for about 3 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
