Birthday Croquettes

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded chicken, onions, garlic, paprika, thyme, grated cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

2.Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a small croquette. Repeat this process to make the remaining croquettes.

3.Dip each croquette into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated.

4.Roll the coated croquettes in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well covered with breadcrumbs on all sides.

5.Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the croquettes in the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

6.Fry the croquettes until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning them occasionally for even cooking. This should take about 5-6 minutes per batch.

7.Remove the cooked croquettes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

8.Serve the birthday croquettes hot with your favorite dipping sauce or accompaniments.

9.Enjoy your delicious birthday croquettes with your friends and family!
