parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Boil the potatoes until tender, then mash them.

In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with 2 eggs, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Form the mixture into small croquettes, placing a piece of mozzarella and some diced prosciutto in the center of each.

Dip each croquette in the additional egg for coating, then roll in breadcrumbs.

Heat oil in a frying pan and deep-fry the croquettes until golden brown.
