Baked Croquette Recipes

Steps:

• For the baked potato croquettes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wash and bake the potato on a rimmed baking sheet or large pot, until fork tender, about 45 minutes. Cool and put through a ricer in a large bowl. Add the butter, bacon, sour cream, milk, green onion, salt, pepper. Mix together and form 4 balls. Place 1 piece of cheese in the center of each ball.
• For the egg wash: Whisk the egg and milk together in a shallow bowl. Place the flour in a second shallow bowl. Roll the balls in the flour and then the egg wash, then again in the flour.
• For frying: Heat the canola oil to 350 degrees F in a deep fryer or large pot. Deep fry the croquettes in batches in the oil until golden brown and hot in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together mashed potatoes and parsley; season with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, place flour; season with salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water. In a third shallow bowl, place 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.
• Form potato mixture into 3/4-by-2-inch logs. Roll in flour, shaking off excess, dip in egg wash, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat. In a heavy medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil over medium-high until hot. In batches, fry croquettes until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per batch, turing as needed. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Combine 1/3 cup of the soup, chicken, bread crumbs, celery, onion and 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning. Mix well and shape into 6 croquettes (I make patties). Chill in refrigerator for about 1 hour.
• Remove croquettes from refrigerator and roll in additional bread crumbs. In a large skillet, melt 1 to 2 tablespoons shortening. Brown the croquettes in the shortening. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the remaining soup, milk and 1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning. Heat over low, stirring occasionally. Serve sauce over croquettes.
