Ingredients for Potato Croquetas with Saffron Alioli

• 450g large boiling potatoes (about 2)

• 3 ovos grandes

• 1 colher de sopa de salsa fresca picada

• 1 colher de sopa de cebolinha fresca finamente picada

• 1/4 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon

• 2 colheres de sopa de manteiga sem sal, amolecida

• 1/2 colher de chá de sal

• 1/8 colher de chá de pimenta preta

• 90g de farinha de trigo

• 180ml fine dry bread crumbs

• About 950ml olive oil (not extra-virgin) for frying

• Accompaniment: saffron alioli

• um espremedor de batatas

• um termômetro para fritura profunda

Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces. Cover with salted cold water by 1 inch in a 2-quart saucepan, then boil until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander. Force potatoes through ricer into a medium bowl and cool.

Lightly beat 1 egg in a small bowl with a fork. Add to cooled potatoes along with herbs, butter, salt, and pepper and stir just until combined.

Spoon tablespoons of potato mixture onto a tray, then lightly roll each into a ball between palms of your hands and return to tray.

Lightly beat remaining 2 eggs in a small bowl and set aside. Spread flour in a shallow bowl, then spread bread crumbs in another shallow bowl.

Working in 4 batches (of 6 or 7), roll balls in flour to coat, gently shaking off excess flour. Dip balls in egg, turning to coat and letting excess drip off, then roll in bread crumbs and return to tray. Chill, covered, 30 minutes.

Pré-aqueça o forno a 93°C.

Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a 3-quart pot until it registers 182°C on thermometer. Working in 4 batches, fry croquetas, turning if necessary, until browned, about 1 1/2 minutes per batch. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, then transfer to a baking pan and keep warm in oven while frying remaining croquetas. (Return oil to 182°C between batches.)
