# Instructions:
01 -
Cut each potato into eight pieces. Fry the potatoes until golden but not dry. Transfer to a bowl and mash with a whisk until smooth. Incorporate salt, white pepper, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar cheese into the mashed potatoes. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
02 -
Combine ground beef with salt, white pepper, and garlic powder. Divide mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty. Fry patties over medium heat until both sides are lightly browned. Place patties on a cooling rack to drain excess oil.

Divide mashed potatoes into four equal portions. Flatten each portion to approximately ½ cm thickness. Place one beef patty and one slice of mozzarella cheese on top. Encase the patty and cheese with the mashed potato, forming a croquette.

Dredge each croquette sequentially in flour, then egg wash, and finally bread crumbs. Heat cooking oil in a pan to 170°C (340°F). Fry the croquettes until they turn golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a cooling rack to drain.

Present the croquettes hot with ketchup and mayonnaise on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure oil temperature is maintained at 170°C to achieve a crispy exterior without absorbing excess oil.
