Instructions

  1. 1 Combine potatoes, cheese, eggs, pancetta, 2 tablespoons parsley, garlic, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon. salt, and red pepper in a large bowl. Using damp hands, form mixture into 18 patties. Coat patties in bread crumbs.
  2. 2 Pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. (You'll need about 3 cups oil.) Heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F to 365 degrees F (175 to 185 degrees C). Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C).
  3. 3 Working in batches, fry potato patties in hot oil, turning halfway through, until browned on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
  4. 4 For sauce, whisk together mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, chopped herbs, vinegar, black pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Garnish with additional herbs. Serve croquettes with sauce.
