- Step 1Prepare the potato cheese and set aside.
- Step 2Remove the green part of the leeks, make a longitudinal cut and wash well under the tap to remove the earth. Cut it into thin slices and set aside.
- Step 3Put to heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and, when it is warm, add the leek, lower the heat and let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring from time to time to caramelize.
- Step 4After this time, remove the pan from the heat, put the leek aside on a plate and put the pan to heat again with the oil that has remained. When the oil is warm again, add the rice flour and let it toast for a couple of minutes over low heat.
- Step 5After this time, add the leek again, stir and add the soy milk little by little. Add the salt and stir until the dough for the croquettes is formed. Add the potato cheese and continue stirring with low heat for 15 minutes so that no lumps form.
- Step 6After this time, remove from the heat and transfer the dough to a large plate or tray to cool. When the dough is cooled down (after 30 minutes, approximately), put it in the fridge for 30 more minutes so that it completely cools and it can be easily handled.
- Step 7When the dough is cold, take it out of the fridge and take portions with your hands or with a spoon, shape them into croquettes and pass them through the breadcrumbs.
- Step 8When all the croquettes are formed, put to heat a deep frying pan with enough oil to fry over medium heat. When the oil is very hot (without getting to smoke), fry the croquettes in batches and, when they are golden brown, remove them from the heat and leave them carefully in a strainer to remove the excess oil. When all the croquettes are fried, serve them freshly made.
