Potato Croquettes Recipe
4 large Idaho potatoes, peeled
2 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons bread crumbs
2 tablespoons milk, whole or skim
1 small onion, peeled
2 teaspoons chives, fresh or dried
1 small garlic clove, smashed
Grate the potatoes and onion into a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients to make a thick batter. If the batter is too liquid, dry it out by adding more bread crumbs until you can pick the batter up in your hands. Form into 4 to 6 pancakes depending on the size you want to serve. Heat a skillet with 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or regular margarine or vegetable oil until the fat is hot. Add the potato pancakes a few at a time in order not to crowd the skillet. Cook on both sides until brown and the middle is well cooked. Salt and pepper. Keep warm on paper towels in a very low 200 degree oven. Serves 4 to 6.ingredients and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
