Sweet potatoes are nutrient-dense.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet until it reaches about 370 degrees.

Chop fresh parsley and add it to a large bowl with the leftover mashed potatoes.

Add granulated garlic and granulated onion to the bowl.

Sprinkle in black pepper and add shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the mixture.

Mix everything together until well combined.

Season the eggs with a touch of salt and pepper and whisk them in a separate bowl.

Add grated parmesan cheese to the breadcrumbs and mix well.

Using an ice cream scoop, form the potato mixture into balls, dipping each one into the egg before coating it in breadcrumbs.

Flatten each croquette slightly after breading.

Fry the croquettes in batches, cooking three at a time for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the croquettes from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
