Scottish Smoked Salmon Croquettes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound smoked salmon, flaked
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Mix together the smoked salmon, mashed potatoes, dill, green onions, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Shape the mixture into small croquettes, about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide.
  3. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each croquette in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve the Scottish Smoked Salmon Croquettes hot with a dipping sauce or a side salad.
