This is very similar to 'bubble & squeak' and a
great way to use up left over vegetables. It can also
be made from scratch using any vegetables you like and
served as an accompaniment or indeed tapas or an appetiser.
Ingredients
for Potato Croquettes
3 medium sized cooked potatoes
Any left over vegetables, chopped into small pieces
- broccoli and peas are great but carrots, sweet corn
or cabbage work just as well.
200ml water
Olive oil
50g plain flour
Salt and pepper
How
to make Potato Croquettes
- In
a large bowl, mash the potatoes and mix with the vegetables.
- In
a saucepan, bring the water to the boil, remove from
the heat and add two tablespoons of olive oil.
- Slowly
beat in the flour until you get a smooth batter.
- Add
the mashed potato mixture and cook over a low heat
for 10 minutes or so, stirring all the time until
the mixture is smooth and thick. Season.
- Leave
to cool which will also help to thicken the mixture
more (it should be thick enough to hold its shape
when made into balls)
- When
the mixture is cool enough to handle, form the mixture
into potato cakes, balls or croquette shapes - whatever
you prefer.
- In
a small but deep frying pan, heat more olive oil for
frying and then deep fry the croquettes in batches
until golden all over.
- Drain
on kitchen paper and serve while still hot.
