Potato Rissoles image

Also known as Potato Croquettes, this version was adapted from Modern Cooking for Private Families and then published in The Great Victorian Cookbook by John Midgley, published in 1995...My mother used to make different types of croquettes when I was little, no doubt to stretch the meat for our large family...Decades have passed and the original recipes are long gone, but this one looks very much like one of hers...I'd like to surprise her one day with this old standby, so I'm placing it here for safekeeping!

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 croquettes, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb russet potato, peeled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons 1% low-fat milk
salt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 ounce cooked ham, very finely chopped
parsley, finely chopped (fresh, about a handful before chopping)
2 scallions, very finely chopped
1/2 cup flour (or more as needed)
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil (or more as needed)

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes until tender; then mash them with the butter, and milk.
  • Allow to cool slightly; then season with salt and pepper to taste and mix in the ham, parsley and scallions.
  • Shape the mixture into slightly larger than golf ball sized portions, you should have 6-8 balls; roll each ball, to coat, in some flour.
  • Heat a nice layer of the olive oil, perhaps an inch or so, in a non-stick skillet; fry rissoles (croquettes) in the oil, over medium heat, turning to make sure all sides become golden.
  • When cooked, drain on paper towels; serve hot with your favorite seasoned white sauce or gravy.
  • Prep and cooktimes noted above the ingredient list are approximate.

I'm not a big fan of potato rissoles, but this recipe might change my mind.

This recipe looks delicious, but I'm not sure I have all the ingredients. I'll have to see what I can find at the store.

These rissoles were a bit too greasy for my taste.

The potato rissoles were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

These rissoles were easy to make and very tasty. I used a combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and I added a bit of chopped ham to the filling. They were a great appetizer for a party.

I followed the recipe exactly and the rissoles turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and cooked through, and the potato and cheese filling was delicious. I served them with a side of sour cream and they were a hit with everyone at the table.

These potato rissoles were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the cheesy center was a delightful surprise. I'll definitely be making these again.
