• Cut the strings into smaller portions of about 5 cm.
• Put the board in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
• In a bowl, stir the remaining three eggs.
• Transfer the breadcrumbs to another bowl.
• Take the potato servings out of the freezer and place them one at a time in the scrambled eggs first, then roll
• them in the breadcrumbs and set them aside.
• Heat the frying oil in a saucepan and fry the croquettes in the oil until they turn golden orange.
• Remove and serve the croquettes, or let them cool and freeze for later.
