Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparation Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Serves: 3 people

1: Prepare the Potato Skin

Begin by making the potato skin. First, peel and boil the potatoes until they are soft. Once cooked, mash the potatoes until smooth. In a separate pan, melt the margarine and add the milk. Mix the margarine and milk mixture with the mashed potatoes, then add the all-purpose flour to create a thick, smooth dough-like texture. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Form small round balls of dough, each about 35 grams, and set them aside.

2: Prepare the Filling

In a frying pan, heat some oil and sauté the garlic, red onion, and white onion until they are fragrant and softened. Add the grated carrot and ground chicken. Pour in a little water and cook until both the chicken and carrot are fully cooked. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Once the vegetables and chicken are cooked through, thicken the filling with a bit of flour diluted in water. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and cohesive. Finally, add the finely chopped spring onion and celery for added freshness. Mix everything thoroughly and allow the filling to cool slightly.

3: Assemble the Croquettes

Take a small portion of the prepared potato dough and flatten it gently in your palm. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center, then carefully fold the edges of the potato dough to encase the filling, forming a round croquette shape. Repeat this step until all the croquettes are formed.

4: Coat and Fry the Croquettes

Beat the eggs in a bowl and prepare a plate with bread crumbs. Dip each croquette into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated, then roll it in the bread crumbs for a crispy outer layer. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, and fry the croquettes until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove the croquettes from the oil and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
