Mini Potato Croquette
This recipe is pretty basic, but very flavorful and versatile. You can add in shredded carrots, hard-boiled egg, or whatever strikes your fancy.
Panko is very flaky and light Japanese breadcrumbs. Because it does not soak up the oil during frying, the end result is light and crispy! The secret keeping these croquettes crunchy and crispy longer, rest the cooked mini croquettes on wire rack. This allows air to circulate all around, preventing hot steam moistening the crispy crust.
Enjoy!
