Instructions
Make the croquettes
- Place the potatoes in a small sauce pan and cover with water. Cook on medium-high heat until potatoes are cook through. Drain when they're cooked.
- While the potatoes are cooking, add the egg in a shallow bowl and beat with a fork. In another bowl, add the bread crumbs and season with salt & pepper. Set both bowls aside.
- Drain the tuna and place in a medium bowl . Add the cooked potatoes, salt & pepper.
- Mix well and mash tuna & potatoes with a hand masher or a fork.
- Form the tuna patties by squeezing them first then forming into patties. You can make them in any shape you want!
- Pass thru the croquettes thru the egg mixture then coat with bread crumbs.
Cooking options:
- IN FRYING PAN: Heat oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the croquettes until golden browned on all sides. About 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels.
- IN OVEN: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the tuna patties on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spray or brush the top of the tuna patties with olive oil. Bake for about 20 minutes, turning once, until golden browned on both sides.
- IN AIR FRYER: Preheat, arrange the tuna patties on surface. Spray or brush the top of the tuna patties with olive oil. Bake for about 20 minutes, turning once, until golden browned on both sides.
- Serve while warm.
Notes
- Make ahead and freeze:
- Prepare tuna croquettes up to step #3 then place uncooked flat on a tray. Place in freezer for about 4 hours and when frozen, then you can package for longer term storage. Place them in a freezer bag or plastic container with wax or parchment paper between layers.
- Thaw in the fridge or kitchen countertop then cook as directed.
