Potato and Salmon Croquettes

ly mix the smoked salmon and blend it with the mashed potatoes along with the egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and chives if you decide to use them. Mix well until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. 3. With slightly damp hands, take portions of the mixture and form oval or round croquettes according to your preference. 4. Roll the croquettes in breadcrumbs until completely covered. 5. Heat plenty of oil in a pan and when hot, fry the croquettes until they turn golden and crispy on all sides. A lighter alternative is to bake them in the oven, placed on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and drizzled with a bit of oil, at 200 °C until golden brown. 6. Once ready, place them on paper towels to remove excess oil. 7. Serve your warm potato and salmon croquettes, accompanied if you wish by tartar sauce or a simple mayonnaise.

Curiosity

In Italy, traditional potato croquettes, also called “crocchè” in Neapolitan, are simple and characterized by the use of cheese that makes the heart melt once fried, and are a classic appetizer or side dish. The variant with salmon is a fusion between the Italian penchant for small delicacies and the affinity of salmon for simple yet elegant preparations.
