Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Corned beef
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel and cube the russet potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes with butter, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
Finely chop the green onions and dice the corned beef into small pieces. Mix the green onions and corned beef into the mashed potatoes until well combined.
Shape the potato mixture into small cylindrical croquettes, roughly 2 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Roll each croquette in the flour, dip it in the whisked eggs, and then coat it in breadcrumbs. Ensure each croquette is fully coated.
In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Test the oil with a small piece of breadcrumb; it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully place 3-4 croquettes into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining croquettes until all are fried.
Serve the croquettes warm with your choice of dipping sauce or a side of tangy mustard.
