Potato croquettes with greens are very soft and attractive in appearance. They can be safely prepared as a quick snack and there is no doubt that someone will not like it.
For the preparation of such croquettes, old potatoes or young potatoes are suitable. You can fry them in a frying pan in a sufficient amount of vegetable oil or in a cauldron. In general, a deep fryer is also suitable for this purpose. It is better to use vegetable oil without a pronounced smell, but if this moment does not bother you, then use any. For greens, you should opt for dill, although fresh parsley is also suitable.
Potato croquettes are best served with homemade sour cream or just like that.
