These Tirokroketes are classic Greek cheese croquettes, and so easy to make at home!

Combine all the ingredients EXCEPT the olive oil, in a mixing bowl, using your hands to ensure it's well combined. It will be a bit tacky, but should form a cohesive mass.
Divide into 12 ping-pong-ball sized portions, and roll each one into a smooth ball using moistened hands. Then flatten each one into a small patty.
Sprinkle a few tablespoons of flour on a plate Gently toss each croquette in it so that it's lightly coated all over.
Set a wide skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the olive oil. Pan-fry the croquettes until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side, working in batches if necessary. Transfer the cooked croquettes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Cool for 1 minute, then serve hot or warm, garnished with pinches of dried mint.

I used all purpose flour but gluten free all purpose flour or oat flour should work here too!
If you don't have dried mint, use dried oregano instead, or omit it.
Store leftovers in your fridge for up to 4 days.
