Serrano Ham and Goat Cheese Croquettes #SundaySupper

Serrano Ham and Goat Cheese Croquettes #SundaySupper

Serrano Ham and Goat Cheese Croquettes are a Spanish tapas recipe I created for Sunday Supper’s Spanish Tapas. Spanish tapas are basically appetizers or small meals. I enjoy them because you can try many different dishes instead of one meal.

These flavors came out great. The goat cheese was very mild and added a creaminess to the potatoes. These would be great with a Chimichurri or aioli sauce but we never got around to dipping them. Both time I made them, they disappeared before anyone could realize they needed dip.

My family enjoyed the Serrano Ham and Goat Cheese Croquettes so much they now want me to make them weekly. We also made a few other tapas recipe that I will share another time. I enjoyed the Spanish flavors and will be experimenting with them more. Let me know what you think.

Serrano Ham & Goat Cheese Croquettes Recipe

Ingredients:

2 pounds gold potatoes (about 4-6 potato)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 pound serrano ham slices
2 ounces goat cheese
2 eggs
3/4 cup bread crumbs
oil for frying

Directions:

Scrub potatoes and boil until tender. Cool until you can handle them. Peel the skins and place on a baking sheet. Using a masher, smash the potatoes on the baking sheet. Add the butter, salt, and pepper; smash more. 

Once the potatoes are an even consistency add the cheese and work that into the potatoes evenly. Stir in the ham. Shape into tubes the size of huge fingers. Place in the freezer for an hour or more.

In a shallow bowl, add the egg and whisk. In a separate shallow bowl add the bread crumbs. Dip each potato piece in the egg, let excess egg fall off, then roll in bread crumbs. Continue for each of the pieces of potato. Fry in hot oil until golden on each side. Serve hot and enjoy!
