Potato And Cod Croquettes

Ingredients

2 small cod fillets
3 1/2 cups cold mashed potatoes (with no butter or cream)
nutmeg, to taste
1 Tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro
coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper, to taste
4 eggs
1/4 cup homogenized milk
2 cups bread crumbs
3 cups vegetable oil
(Makes 24)

Directions

In a large frying pan, heat 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Fry cod fillets until white all the way through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Cool and then flake into small pieces with a fork.

Mix mashed potato, cod flakes and cilantro together.

Roll potato mixture into 2 one-inch logs, about 1/4 cup of mixture.

Place the flour and breadcrumbs into 2 medium bowls.

In another medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

Dip the potato and cod logs into the flour mixture to coat, followed by the egg mixture and then the breadcrumbs.

Dip again in the egg mixture and then breadcrumbs so that each croquette is double crusted.

Repeat with remaining potato logs.

Heat remaining vegetable oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat.

Fry croquettes in batches, cooking about 6 in the pan at a time.

Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes.

Transfer to paper towel to drain.
