Ham and Potato Croquettes
Preparation
- Mix the chopped ham, mashed potatoes, green onions, parmesan and 125 ml (½ cup) of breadcrumbs in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Form 12 croquettes, using about 80 ml (⅓ cup) of the mixture for each.
- Place the remaining breadcrumbs in a deep plate. Coat the croquettes in the breadcrumbs.
- Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the croquettes for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden‑brown.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool slightly on the counter, and then refrigerate to cool completely.
- Place the croquettes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours.
- Transfer the croquettes into a large airtight bag. Remove the air from the bag and seal it. Place the bag in the freezer.
- The night before your meal, let the bag thaw out in the refrigerator.
- When ready to eat, reheat the croquettes in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes at 205°C (400°F), turning them at the halfway point, or reheat them in the microwave.
