Chef Chuck's Potato Sausage Croquettes

Crocchette di Patate e Salsiccia


Potato and sausage croquettes are tasty appetizers. The parmigiano cheese made the potatoes so creamy and buttery. A touch of sage with Italian sausage is a pleasant additive. Crunchy on the outside and smooth on the inside.
