Vamo Arriba - Croquetas de Martín Fierro

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

Peel and mash the potatoes in a large bowl.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Stir in chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, then remove from heat.

Combine the beef mixture with the mashed potatoes in the bowl.

Add cheese, lemon zest, and mix until well combined.

Let the mixture cool completely in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Form the mixture into small croquettes, about the size of a golf ball.

Set up a breading station with beaten eggs and bread crumbs.

Dip each croquette in the egg, then coat with bread crumbs.

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

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

Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
