I'm going to make these croquettes for my vegan friend. I'll use lentils instead of beef.

I'm not a big fan of beef, but these croquettes look so good that I might have to give them a try.

The croquettes were delicious, but they fell apart when I tried to fry them. I think I might have overmixed the mashed potatoes.

These croquettes were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would use less butter next time.

I love that this recipe uses leftover mashed potatoes. It's a great way to use up leftovers and make a new dish that's just as delicious.

The croquettes were easy to make and the ingredients were easy to find. I used a food processor to make the mashed potatoes and it worked perfectly.

These croquettes were absolutely delicious! The mashed potatoes and ground beef were perfectly seasoned and the breadcrumb coating was crispy and golden brown. I served them with a side of ketchup and they were a hit with my family.
