Double the sauce and serve with a good roast, yummy! Cook time does not include two 1 hour chill times but well worth the effort. Ingredients:
2 medium potatoes, cooked |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 egg yolk |
3 tablespoons milk |
2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese |
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped |
1 egg, beaten |
3 tablespoons water |
1 1/2-2 cups dried breadcrumbs |
3 tablespoons almond halves |
oil (for deep frying) |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon flour |
1/4 cup water |
1/4 cup cream |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
Directions:
1. Mash potatoes with butter, egg yolk, milk, cheese and parsley. Take tablespoonfuls of mixture and form into croquette shapes (oval). Chill for 1 hour.
2. Mix egg and water together. Dip croquettes in egg water then bread crumbs, then press an almond half in each. Chill for a further 1 hour.
3. To make sauce, melt butter and stir in flour. Cook 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in water, cream and mustard. Return to heat and stir until sauce boils and thickens.
4. Heat oil and deep-fry croquettes until golden. Drain on wire rack. To serve, arrange croquettes on plates, pour sauce over and serve with roasts or fish.
