I've tried this recipe several times and it always turns out perfect. The croquettes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I love serving them with a dipping sauce.

These croquettes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe but the croquettes didn't turn out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These croquettes were a little too greasy for my taste, but they were still good. I think I might try baking them next time instead of frying them.
