Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 250g cooked chicken, shredded
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup finely chopped spring onions
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 500g potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup plain flour
Instructions
- Boil the chopped potatoes in a large pot of salted water for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and mash until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded chicken, grated cheese, and finely chopped spring onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Beat one egg and add it to the mixture, mixing well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, oval-shaped croquettes.
- Place the flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs into three separate shallow bowls. Roll each croquette in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat in the panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the croquettes in batches, turning occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Drain the croquettes on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the chicken potato croquettes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
