Spicy Garlic Beef Croquettes with Crispy Golden Crust
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup mashed potatoes (to bind)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
Oil for deep frying
Directions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Add ground beef, chili flakes, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Cook until beef is browned.
Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley and mashed potatoes. Let mixture cool.
Once cooled, shape the beef mixture into oval-shaped croquettes.
Prepare a dredging station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
Roll each croquette in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry croquettes in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or garlic aioli.
