Instructions

1. Wash the potatoes, cut them in half, leave the skin on, and boil them in a large pot of water on medium-high heat for 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, dice the ham and mozzarella into small cubes.
3. Let the potatoes cool slightly while still warm, then press them through a ricer into a bowl and let them cool for another 5 minutes.
4. Add the parsley, pecorino, salt, a generous amount of pepper and one egg to the mashed potato, then mix with one hand until well combined.
5. Wet your hands, flatten a portion of potato, place the mozzarella and ham filling in a dent, close it, and roll into a log with square ends. Set on a tray lined with baking paper and repeat with the rest.
6. Coat each croquette in beaten egg and breadcrumbs, making sure it is fully covered, then rest them so they firm up. On a hot day, cover them and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
7. Heat oil in a large pot on medium-high heat.
8. Fry five croquettes at a time, stirring gently, for 3 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on a plate lined with paper towels, and repeat until all are cooked.
