Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 * Exported from MasterCook * Walnut And Potato Croquettes Recipe By : Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, Deborah Madison, page 414 Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Potatoes Side Dishes Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup grated onion 1 cup finely chopped walnuts 1 cup Mashed Potatoes (see separate recipe) 2 cups fresh bread crumbs 1 egg Salt and freshly milled pepper -- to taste 1 tablespoon chopped sage OR rosemary or parsley Vegetable oil and/or clarified butter -- for frying Makes 10 to 12, serving 4 to 6 This recipe was inspired by one I found in a 1913 cookbook. It was described as something to make when meat was scarce, but it's delicious in its own right. Go ahead and serve the croquettes with ketchup. Melt the butter in a small skillet, add the onion, and cook over medium heat until browned, stirring frequently. In a bowl, mix the onion, walnuts, potatoes, half the bread crumbs, and the egg. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, a little pepper, and the sage. Scoop up 2 heaping tablespoons of the mixture at a time and shape into an oval. Spread the remaining bread crumbs on a plate and roll the croquettes in them to coat evenly. Preheat the oven to 200F. Heat 1/8 inch oil in a wide skillet and place over high heat. Add as many of the croquettes as will fit comfortably, reduce the heat to medium, and cook on both sides until golden, about 10 minutes in all. Remove them to paper towels and place in the oven while you finish frying the rest. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
