  Preparation Method

  1. Preparing the Potato Dough

  1. Cooking the Potatoes : Cook the potatoes until they are very soft. Drain and mash them until they form a smooth puree.
  2. Mix the Ingredients : Add the egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until you get a smooth dough and set aside.

  2. Preparing the Filling

  1. 1. Sauté the Aromatics : In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until golden and soft.
     2. Add the Vegetables : Add the carrots, peas and corn, stirring for a few minutes until soft.
     3. Add the Chicken and Seasonings : Add the shredded chicken, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes, mixing well.
  1. Finish the Filling : Remove from the heat, add the parsley and let cool a little before filling the potatoes.

  3. Assembling the Stuffed Potatoes

  1. Shape the Potatoes : Take a portion of the potato dough (approximately 2-3 tablespoons) and form into a disk.
  2. Add the Filling : Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center and cover with more puree, shaping into a croquette or burger shape.

  4. Breading and Frying

  1. Coating : Dip each croquette in beaten egg and then in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
  2. Fry : Heat oil over medium heat and fry potatoes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
