Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain and let cool, then peel and mash the potatoes until smooth.

Finely chop the ham and mix it into the mashed potatoes.

Add eggs, grated parmesan cheese, and season with black pepper, salt, and nutmeg.

Mix until well combined and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

Shape the mixture into small balls or patties.

Coat each croquette in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat olive oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

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

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley.
