Bacon and Cheese Croquettes
Nothing could go wrong with bacon, cheese and potatoes, could they? *Coy smile* I would have to say this is my first time making croquettes, and while they are fun to make, they are also very sinful, so don’t eat them too often okay?
For the skin or outer coat, combine these ingredients:
400g potatoes, steam/bake until soft, peel and mash
2 tablespoon of flour, scant
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
Let the dough cool down for a bit and work on them, dividing them into separate portions. In the meantime, have some fried bacons and shredded cheddar cheese ready as the filling. I used:
200g bacon chips, fried
4 slices cheddar cheese
Flatten the dough and put on a tablespoon of filling. Wrap them up by pinching the sides together.
If the dough is too sticky, dust some flour to ease the forming process. As you can see, you can form them into any shapes you fancy, depends on how you would like to fry them.
But of course, flat shapes are easier to fry. To fry the croquettes, prepare these ingredients:
1 cup of breadcrumbs
2 egg whites
Dip the formed croquette into the egg whites and subsequently coat the dipped croquette with breadcrumbs. Be careful not to wet the breadcrumbs with the egg whites, or the croquettes will be soggy and not crispy.
Deep fry them in hot oil, and eat it while its hot!
