To prepare these delicious potato croquettes, start by peeling the boiled potatoes and mashing them with a fork or a potato masher to obtain a fine puree. Let it cool, as it is important that the ingredients are not hot when you combine them. Meanwhile, in a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat and add the finely chopped onion. Sauté the onion until it becomes translucent and slightly golden, being careful not to burn it, as this will affect the final taste. Once the onion is ready, add the diced bacon and fry them together for a few minutes until the bacon becomes crispy and flavorful. Let the mixture cool before combining it with the rest of the ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the onion and bacon mixture. Add a beaten egg to bind the mixture, then incorporate the grated cheese, which will add a touch of flavor and creaminess. Season with salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the bacon may already be salty. Gradually add the sifted flour along with the baking powder, mixing gently to avoid lumps. Knead the mixture slightly, just enough to combine the ingredients well. Wet your hands with water to prevent the dough from sticking and form portions from the mixture. You can make small or larger discs, depending on your preferences. Place these discs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure to leave enough space between them for even baking. Preheat the oven to a medium temperature and place the tray inside. Bake the croquettes for about an hour or until they are nicely browned and crispy on the outside. These potato croquettes are excellent served warm, alongside a fresh vegetable salad, but should not be underestimated when cold, having a savory taste and a soft texture. They are also ideal for packing, making them a perfect option for a quick lunch or a delicious snack. Enjoy them with pleasure!
