Ingredients

350g cold mashed potatoes

200g finely chopped cooked ham

3 green onions, finely chopped

200g panko bread crumbs, divided

1 egg

15ml Dijon mustard

2.5g dried dill weed

2.5g salt

2.5g ground black pepper

120ml vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, ham, green onions, 50g of bread crumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, dill weed, salt, and black pepper until well mixed. If the mixture is too wet, add an additional 50g of bread crumbs to help bind.

Step 2

Transfer the remaining bread crumbs to a shallow bowl.

Step 3

Scoop about 80g of the mixture and shape it into a ball, then gently flatten it into a patty. Coat both sides of the patty with bread crumbs, shaking off any excess. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Fry the croquettes, 2 to 3 at a time, until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
