Potato and Salmon Croquettes with Yogurt Sauce

I can provide you with the recipe for potato and salmon croquettes with yogurt sauce. I suggest a light and elegant version that might delight the palate.

Ingredients

• 500 g of potatoes
• 200 g of smoked salmon
• 1 egg
• 40 g of grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped parsley to taste
• Flour as needed for breading
• Breadcrumbs as needed for breading
• Olive oil as needed for frying

For the yogurt sauce:

• 250 g of Greek yogurt
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 teaspoon of mustard
• Chopped chives to taste
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Start by boiling the potatoes in salted water until they are soft. Drain and mash them in a bowl to form a puree.
2. Add the smoked salmon cut into small pieces, the egg, the Parmesan, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley to the potato puree. Mix the ingredients well.
3. With damp hands, take portions of the mixture and shape them into croquettes. Dip them first in flour, then slightly beaten egg (add another if necessary), and finally in breadcrumbs.
4. Heat plenty of olive oil in a pan and fry the croquettes until they are golden and crisp.
5. Drain the croquettes on paper towels to remove excess oil.

For the yogurt sauce:

1. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt with lemon juice, mustard, chopped chives, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix well until you get a smooth sauce.

Serve the hot croquettes accompanied by the cold yogurt sauce.
