Preparation

Making Potato Croquettes
- Cut the beef and mozzarella in small cubes.
- Chop the parsley.
- Mix them with prepared Knorr Mashed Potato (room temperature) (use 10% less liquid for a more firm mash).
- Season the mixture with some black pepper (no salt, salt will come from the beef).
- Put the mixture in a piping bag and squeeze shapes of long cylinders on an oven tray, that’s covered with baking paper.
- Half freeze the cylinders and cut into pieces of 5 cm.
Coating
- Coat the croquettes in 3 steps:
  1 - Flour
  2 - Egg wash
  3 - Breadcrumbs
- After coating, let the coating set for half an hour in the fridge.
- Bring vegetable oil to 180 degrees Celsius and deep-fry the croquettes for about 4 minutes until they are golden.
- Make sure they are hot inside so the mozzarella runs out when you break the croquettes.
Prepare the Crispy Pancetta
- Place the thinly sliced pancetta on baking paper and put also baking paper on top.
- Place between 2 oven racks so the pancetta will be pressured.
- Bake the pancetta in the oven on 170 degrees Celcius for 8 minutes.
- Remove the top baking paper and let the pancetta cool down.
Prepare Truffle Mayonnaise
- Mix mayonnaise with the truffle paste.
- Squeeze some drops of lemon.
Plating
- Serve 3 croquettes per portion.
- Place the pancetta on top.
- Finish with some truffle mayonnaise.
- Garnish with fresh herbs.
