Ham and Cheese Croquettes

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix the potatoes, 1/4 cup flour, cheese, and ham with a large rubber spatula until combined.

2. 2

   Season with salt and pepper, to taste and divide the mixture into 8 equal portions.

3. 3

   Rub your hands with a small amount of flour and form the portions into small flat disks about 1/2-inch thick.

4. 4

   Use just enough flour to keep the potatoes from sticking to your hands, but do not coat them completely.

5. 5

   Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.

6. 6

   Shallow-fry the croquettes, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.

7. 7

   Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-towel lined plate.

8. 8

   Let the croquettes cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
