CROQUETES DE PEIX BLANC I PATATA

WHITE FISH AND POTATO CROQUETS

The white fish and potato croquettes have a perfect crispy outside and soft inside. It can be an easy and healthy dinner that you can combine with any sauce, a tzatziki I think would be a scandal!
This Tuesday we had leftover monkfish and boiled potatoes and we invented this recipe based on a potato croquettes recipe that I have from Jordi's grandmother's notebook. And the truth is that we loved them for their simplicity and for the ease of incorporating fish for dinner (I have to tell you that I have a hard time cooking fish for dinner..). They are perfect to dip with a yogurt or tzatziki sauce, with a salad or add a side dish of vegetables. They make a dinner or lunch rich in protein without much work. In addition, the whole family can enjoy them and they are easy to make with a minimum of ingredients. In the end, it is everything I look for in a recipe.

Start by cooking the boiled or steamed potatoes. You can also place the fish in the steamer basket for about 10 minutes while you cook the potatoes. When it is all cooked, place it in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, coat with Panko breadcrumbs and fry in the oven or air fryer.
Little things..
I used Monalisa potatoes. Make sure it has a creamy texture. As for the fish, you can try different varieties. But if it is dry like Cod, add a little milk to make it creamier.
Herbs, I love using fresh parsley and in fact it's what I recommend. But dill and coriander are herbs that can also go well. In the end we have different tastes.
And finally, the sauce. The croquettes are very good but with sauce they are a scandal. I like yogurt or tzaziki sauce, but a mashed avocado like guacamole would also be good or any aioli would fit perfectly.
How to make it gluten-free and lactose-free?

Simply buy breadcrumbs and gluten-free flour.
And replace the yogurt in the sauce with lactose-free yogurt.

How do I store it?

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. Or freeze for up to three months. I would double/triple the amount and freeze half and take out as needed. Imagine coming home without dinner ready, taking the croquettes out of the freezer, putting them in the air fryer and in the meantime going to put on your pajamas...

TIPS/NOTES

  • Choose a tender fish.
  • Remember to add garlic, it gives it a special touch.
  • If you have children, we can add a slice of cheese inside each croquette to make it tastier.
