Potato Cheese Croquettes With Chipotle Aioli
"I found a few recipes for potato croquettes here on 'Zaar and sort of melded them together. The chipotle sauce is almost identical to recipe #110288, but I have changed the recipe for the croquettes. The variation is fantastic! How can you deny the goodness of deep-fried potato and cheesiness? These also work well for the freezer."

I currently live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, although that will be changing shortly. I was living in Guatemala for the past few months, and plan on returning for a 2 year teaching assignment this coming January.
I have always loved to cook, and the more complicated recipe, the better. I also love any type of ethnic food, so most of the recipes you see in my cookbook are of that variety.
