Air Fryer Vignoli’s Style Potato Croquettes with Truffle Cream Cheese
When food is small, tasty, irresistible, and tempting—like cherries, for example—in Italy we say “Uno tira l’altro” (literally, “one pulls the other”). That’s exactly the case with these absolutely gorgeous potato croquettes, which turn out wonderfully crispy thanks to our Extra Virgin Olive Oil IGP Toscana. The side sauce is ultra-simple: a velvety cream cheese blended with our White Truffle Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for a pure and refined taste experience.

Preparation
- Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with cold water, bring to a boil, and cook until very tender (about 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes).

- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then mix well.
- Divide the mixture into 24 equal portions and roll them into small balls.
- Brush the potato balls evenly with Vignoli Extra Virgin Olive Oil IGP Toscana.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper, place the potato balls inside, and cook at 482°F (250°C) for 7–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese with Vignoli White Truffle Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Add a splash of milk if needed to make it softer and creamier.
- Serve the potato croquettes hot with the truffle cream cheese dip.
