Salmon Croquettes
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup day-old seasoned mashed potatoes
1 7-3/4 ounce can salmon, drained and flaked (or about 8 ounces
grilled or baked fresh salmon, flaked)
1 tbs chopped pimento
1 tbs fresh lemon juice
1 tsp finely chopped onions
¼ tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne
3/4 cup dried bread crumbs
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Combine one beaten egg with the potatoes, salmon, pimento,
lemon juice, onions, salt, black pepper and cayenne in a
mixing bowl. Mix gently so as not to mash the salmon. Add
about one-fourth cup of the bread crumbs to the mixture and
again mix gently. The mixture should be able to hold together
so that you can form the mixture into balls or patties. Form
the mixture into two-inch (or smaller) balls. Dip the balls
in the remaining beaten egg, and then dredge them in the remaining
one-half cup of bread crumbs. Chill the croquettes in the rerfrigerator
for at least one hour.
Heat the oil to 360º in a deep pot or fryer. Fry the croquettes,
two or three at at time, for about five minutes, or until they are golden
brown. Drain on paper towels.
Serve warm.
Makes six to ten balls, depending on the size.
