- Peel and roughly cut the potatoes. Cook them in boiling salted water.

- Prepare the beetroot ketchup: blend pre-cooked beetroot with sugar, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper, then cook in a small pot until reduced.
- Prepare the tomato ketchup: mix tomato passata, tomato concentrate, sugar, salt, pepper, white wine vinegar, and basil; cook until thickened.
- Drain the potatoes and mash them. Divide into two parts: one for classic croquettes and one for vegetarian.
- For classic croquettes: add chopped salame Napoli, chopped mortadella, a knob of butter, black pepper, and Parmesan. Mix well. If too dry, add a little milk.
- For vegetarian croquettes: mash the overcooked broccoli with a fork, add to the potatoes, then add a knob of butter, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Refrigerate both mixtures for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Shape the croquettes: take a portion of the mixture, make a dent, insert a piece of scamorza cheese, close and shape like a drop. Repeat for all.
- Bread the croquettes: coat in flour, then beaten eggs, then breadcrumbs.
- Fry in seed oil at 180°C until golden.
- Serve with beetroot and tomato ketchup.
