Peel and cut the potatoes into small pieces.

Place them in a pot and add enough water to cover them.

Cook the potatoes until they are soft, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the water and mash the potatoes until smooth.

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cornstarch, grated cheddar cheese, parsley, and salt.

Knead the mixture with your hands until it reaches a dough-like consistency.

Take small pieces of the potato mixture and shape them into oval or round balls.

Use a little vegetable oil on your hands to prevent sticking.

Beat the egg in a bowl.

Dip each potato ball first into the egg, then roll it in bread crumbs to coat evenly.

Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potato croquettes.

Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve the croquettes hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
