Boil potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes, then drain and mash.

Finely chop onion, garlic, carrots, and peas.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add carrots and peas to the skillet, cooking for another 5 minutes until softened.

Combine mashed potatoes with sautéed vegetables in a large bowl.

Stir in flour, milk, parsley, nutmeg, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well mixed.

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Form the mixture into small balls or patties.

Dip each croquette in flour, then beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with dipping sauce of choice.
