    About Potato Croquettes Recipe

    A croquette is a breaded and deep-fried dumpling made up of a thick binder and a filling that is served as a side dish, snack, or fast food all over the world.

    A thick bechamel or brown sauce, mashed potatoes, wheat flour, or wheat bread are commonly used as binders. A salpicon is a mixture of a binder and a filling that has been combined or pushed into it. Finely chopped meat, seafood, cheese, rice, pasta, mushrooms, and various vegetables, as well as seasonings such herbs and spices, are
    common fillings. A pastry cream binder can be used to bind sweet croquettes, which can then be filled with fruit.

    The croquette was invented in France, and it was in 1898 that Monsieur Escoffier, the father of classical French cuisine, began writing down the recipe with the help of Monsieur Philias Gilbert. You might use up leftover mashed potatoes by making croquettes.

    Ingredients for potato croquettes

    Potatoes:

    A cooked potato has very high levels of umami compounds, molecules which stimulate a “pleasant savory taste,” in most plant food sources.

    Corn flour :

    croquette and other related recipes employ cornflour as a binding agent. Soups, stews, sauces, and other recipes frequently employ it as a thickening. In Italian cooking, corn flour is used for breading. With corn starch, milk, and sugar, a basic pudding can be made.

    Bread Crumbs :

    To make bread crumbs, grind bread into a coarse or fine powder. It is frequently produced from leftover bread and is a wonderful technique to save waste; the colour is usually pale pink or light brown. The resulting powder is good if produced from toasted or dry bread.

     
     
    Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

      I want to try this recipe, but whenever I try a recipe with bread crumbs while deep frying process the breadcrumbs are leaving out the balls and spread over the oil... this makes very messy oil with burnt breadcrumbs all over it...
      Pls give a tip on how to avoid this...

      @Breeze Pchilling the croquette for few minutes like 30 mins will help the breadcrumbs to set

      Do u think it would work in the oven (baking it) instead of deep frying?
