Seafood Croquettes
I had a bbq over the weekend and made some mashed potatoes as a side dish. Frequently, I cook too much food because I feel guilty about leaving hot coals on the grill. I don’t like eating the same thing over and over, so I made some croquettes to give these mashed potatoes a new lease on life.

I had a bbq over the weekend and made some mashed potatoes as a side dish. Frequently, I cook too much food because I feel guilty about leaving hot coals on the grill. I don’t like eating the same thing over and over, so I made some croquettes to give these mashed potatoes a new lease on life.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Clean shrimp, slice in half lengthwise then chop into thirds. Slice scallops in half then quarter. Give the smoked salmon a good chopping. Prepare a breading station consisting of two eggs, bread crumbs and flour. You can add flour and bread crumbs as you need it. Add seafood to mashed potatoes. Give it some Old Bay. Add in the cheese. Combine. Your mashed potatoes are hopefully seasoned, so you won’t have to worry about seasoning them a second time.

Using the same method I use for shaping hamburgers (An open ended can on both sides) form the croquettes. These aren’t the traditional shape, but... it’s an improvement in my eyes. After they are formed, carefully dredge in flour, egg and finally bread crumbs while making sure to shake of excess after each stage of the process. Place on a baking sheet, cover with plastic and freeze for about an hour.

Place croquettes in hot oil. Should be enough to cover them. Be careful of the splatter... it’s a good investment at the dollar store to get one of these screens. I kept the flame on medium. The mashed potatoes are already cooked, but you want to give the shrimp and scallops time to cook as well as the cheese to melt. If the heat is too high, the breadcrumbs can burn and it’ll be undone in the center.

Allow to drain on a wire rack. These are great by themselves but I had it with a little sweet chili sauce.

Crab Cream Croquettes Crab Cream Croquettes
I made these for my husband, who loved bechamel sauce based dishes.If you poke each croquette with a toothpick, they say that steam is let out and the croquettes won't burst. (See Satoka-san's.) I did an experiment, poking half of the croquettes and not poking the other half, and I can report that the un-poked ones will reliably burst. If you leave the croquettes in the frying oil for too long, they will develop small fissures on the surface and the filling will leak out eventually. So don't fry the croquettes for a long time at a low temperature; just fry them briefly and take them out quickly and they'll be fine! As long as they are about as browned as the ones in the photo (they're still a little pale) and crispy on the surface, take them out right away. For 16 croquettes. Recipe by Maane

This year Valentines Day falls on a weekday, and my boyfriend hates chocolates, and I was at a loss for what to do... So I figured, why not make croquettes?! lol. It took a lot of effort to make fried food on a weekday, but I gave it my all! My boyfriend was happy with the end result These croquettes were made with spring in mind. I was actually going to make them with broccolini, but they were sold out that day, so I used broccoli instead...You can use both the stems and florets of the broccoli. Using 50 g each of the stems and florets of the broccoli will improve the color and texture of the croquettes. Recipe by ochikeron -
