Potato and Cabbage Croquettes

1 pound mashed potatoes, (3 cups)
8 ounces steamed or boiled cabbage or kale, shredded
1 egg, beaten
4 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
fresh nutmeg, grated
salt and pepper
all-purpose flour, for coating
oil, for frying

Mix the potatoes with the cabbage or kale, egg, cheese, nutmeg and
seasoning. Divide and shape into croquettes.
Chill for an hour or so, if possible, as this enables the mixture to
become firm and makes it easier to fry. Toss the croquettes in the
flour.

Heat about 1/2-inch of oil in a frying pan until it is quite hot.

Carefully slide the croquettes into the oil and fry on each side for
about 3 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel and
serve hot and crisp.
