Ingredients
- two cupfuls of well-seasoned mashed potatoes add the beaten yolks of two eggs
- half tablespoonfuls of butter
- a tablespoonful of chopped parsley
- a dash of cayenne
- two eggs
- parsley
- cayenne
- nutmeg
Directions
To two cupfuls of well-seasoned mashed potatoes add the beaten yolks of two eggs, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, one and a half tablespoonfuls of butter (if none has been used in seasoning), a dash of cayenne and nutmeg; stir over the fire until the potato leaves the sides of the pan. When cold, form it into small croquettes, roll them in egg and bread-crumbs and fry them in hot fat to an amber color. Serve on a napkin (see frying croquettes, page 294). The croquette mixture may be made into balls enclosing minced meat. When used in this way serve with it a white sauce.
