Albacore Tuna Croquettes
Description
This recipe begins by boiling medium-sized potatoes with their skins on until tender. Once cooled, the skins are removed and the potatoes riced for a smooth texture. The riced potatoes are mixed with drained albacore tuna, parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, eggs, olive oil, and salt to taste. Breadcrumbs are added gradually to bind the mixture until it can be shaped easily by hand.
The mixture is formed into balls using an ice cream scooper, shaped, and rolled in extra breadcrumbs to coat the outside. Croquettes are then pan-fried in hot cooking oil until they develop a golden-brown crust, ensuring a crispy exterior and a moist, flavorful interior infused with cheese and herbs. The fried croquettes are drained on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.

- In a plate or bowl add breadcrumbs. With an ice cream scooper, grab some of the potato mixtures and drop them in your hands and form a perfect ball. Roll in the breadcrumbs and set aside until all the potatoes and tuna mixture is done.
