Ingredients:

200g of spicy chorizo sausage, finely chopped

500g of potatoes, peeled and diced

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 tablespoons of olive oil

2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

500ml of milk

1 teaspoon of smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

2 eggs, beaten

200g of breadcrumbs

Vegetable oil for frying

Preparation:

Step 1: In your Thermomix, add the chopped chorizo sausage and cook for 5 minutes at 100°C on speed 1. Remove the cooked chorizo from the Thermomix and set aside.

Step 2: Place the diced potatoes in the Thermomix bowl and cover with water. Cook for 15 minutes at 100°C on speed 1 or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes and set aside.

Step 3: In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.

Step 4: Add the cooked chorizo to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes to infuse the flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5: In the Thermomix bowl, add the sautéed onion, garlic, and chorizo mixture. Blend for 10 seconds at speed 5 to combine the ingredients.

Step 6: Add the cooked potatoes, flour, milk, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 20 seconds at speed 4 until you have a smooth and creamy mixture.

Step 7: Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish and let it cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it is firm enough to handle.

Step 8: Once the mixture has cooled and firmed up, shape it into small croquettes using your hands. Dip each croquette into the beaten eggs, then coat it in breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Step 9: In a deep fryer or a large skillet, heat vegetable oil to 180°C. Fry the croquettes in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Step 10: Serve the deliciously spicy chorizo croquettes hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish to a main meal. Enjoy!
