Potato Croquettes

==Description==
===Ingredients===
*750g floury Potatoes, peeled and quartered 
*2 tablespoons Cream or melted Butter
*3 eggs
*¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
*plain flour, for coating
*1½ cups (150g) dry Breadcrumbs, for coating
*oil, for deep-frying
===Directions===
* Steam or boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until just tender 
* Drain well and return to the pan. 
* Stir over medium heat to remove excess moisture, then mash well.
* Stir in the cream or melted butter, one egg, the nutmeg and some salt and freshly ground black pepper. 
* Spread the Potato onto a plate with a spoon, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
* Divide the Potato mixture into 12 evenly sized portions and form each one into a Sausage shape about 8 cm long. 
* Place the flour and breadcrumbs into two separate shallow dishes. 
* Lightly bat the remaining eggs and pour into a shallow bowl.
* Roll the croquettes in the flour and shake off the excess. 
* Dip in the beaten egg, then coat evenly in the crumbs, shaking off the excess. Place the croquettes in a single layer on a try or plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
* Fill a deep heavy-based pan a third full of oil and heat to 180°C (350°F) (a cube of bread dropped in the oil will brown in 15 seconds). 
* Cook the croquettes in batches for 5 minutes, or until golden. 
* Remove carefully with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and keep warm while cooking the remaining croquettes.
