Easter ham turns into a perfect combo of pancakes and croquettes for a nice way to use up some of the leftovers. Serve with a honey mustard sauce or any variety of chutneys. Applesauce is also a nice accompaniment. Ingredients:
1 cup finely chopped cooked ham |
1 1/2 cups cold mashed potatoes |
3 green onions, finely chopped |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs, divided |
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed |
Directions:
1. Mix ham, mashed potatoes, green onions, egg, Dijon mustard, dill weed, salt, black pepper, and 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. If mixture is too moist to hold together, mix in an additional 1/4 cup of crumbs. 2. Place remaining panko crumbs into a shallow bowl. 3. Scoop about 1/3 cup of the mixture and form into a ball; slightly flatten into a patty. Press both sides of patty into the panko crumbs; tap off any loose crumbs. Repeat with remaining mixture. 4. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until very hot; pan-fry 2 or 3 patties at a time in the hot oil until golden brown on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. |
