Boil potatoes in a 4-qt. pot of salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl; set aside. Add 1 tbsp. butter to the pot, and melt over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add to potatoes along with remaining butter, cream, salt and pepper. Using a potato masher, mash until smooth. Fold in ham, cheese, and chives; chill for 20 minutes. Using flour-dusted hands, form 2 tbsp. chilled ham mixture into a 3″-long oval and flatten the ends; dredge in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with bread crumbs. Repeat with remaining mixture, flour, eggs, and bread crumbs; transfer to a plate and freeze for 15 minutes. Heat 2″ oil in a 6-qt. saucepan to 375\u00c2\u00b0. Working in batches, fry croquettes, turning as needed, until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to\u00c2\u00a0paper towels to drain and season with salt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
