Ingredients

3 - potatoes
1 tsp - salt
½ tsp - black pepper
1 tsp - garlic powder
½ tsp - turmeric
1 tsp - curry powder
½ tsp - paprika
½ tsp - ground cumin
1 tsp - MSG
1 - egg
2 tablespoons - cornstarch
¾ cup - all-purpose flour
1 - egg
1 ½ cups - breadcrumbs
oil

Instructions

Peel and cut the potatoes into small chunks. Boil for 4–5 minutes, just until slightly tender, not fully cooked. Drain and let cool for a few minutes.
Mash the potatoes until smooth. Add salt, pepper, garlic, turmeric, curry, paprika, cumin, MSG, and the egg. Mix until everything is well combined.
With lightly oiled hands, form the mixture into 7 cm (about 3 inch) long sticks. Place on a tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight for best results.
Dredge each frozen croquette in flour, then dip into the egg mixture and finally coat with breadcrumbs. For extra crunch, you can double coat them with egg and breadcrumbs.
Heat oil to 175–180 °C (medium-high). Fry the croquettes in small batches for about 3–4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels before serving.
