# Ingredients:

→ For the Croquettes

01 - 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
02 - 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs, plus additional for coating
03 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 1 large egg, beaten
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - Salt, to taste
07 - Black pepper, to taste
08 - 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, for frying

→ For the Burrata Dip

09 - 1 ball burrata cheese
10 - 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or creamy ricotta cheese
11 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
12 - Salt, to taste
13 - Black pepper, to taste

→ For the Pistachio Crunch

14 - 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
15 - 1 teaspoon olive oil
16 - Pinch of salt

# Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, beaten egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and holds its shape.
02 - Portion and roll the mixture into small logs or balls. Dredge each piece in additional breadcrumbs to evenly coat all sides.
03 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry croquettes in batches, turning them gently, until crisp and golden brown on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
04 - In a small bowl, combine burrata cheese, Greek yogurt or ricotta, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
05 - In a small pan over medium-low heat, warm olive oil. Add chopped pistachios and toast for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
06 - Arrange croquettes on serving plates. Top with a dollop or drizzle of burrata dip and finish with toasted pistachio crunch. Serve immediately while warm.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, ensure the sweet potato mixture is not too wet to achieve a crisp exterior during frying.
