Cuisine: Australian Serves: 4
Preparation: 2 Hrs Cooking: 30 Mins
Ingredients
- 1 Barossa Fine Foods smoked chicken breast single, finely chopped
- 600g large white potatoes
- 1 large zucchini
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- 2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- ½ cup plain flour
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
CRUMBING
- 1 cup plain flour
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
Method
- Steam or bake the potatoes with the skin on until well cooked. Allow to cool slightly, then peel and mash. Allow to cool completely.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Coarsely grate the zucchini, place in a clean towel and squeeze out all excess moisture. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the finely chopped smoked chicken, parmesan cheese, parsley, beaten egg, flour and cooled mashed potato. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
- With your hands, make small oval shaped logs (approximately 24) with the mixture and place on a tray lined with baking paper. Refrigerate for one hour.
- To crumb the croquettes, place the plain flour, beaten eggs and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Coat each croquette in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Return to a lined tray and refrigerate for another 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 170℃
- Heat a large frypan over medium heat and shallow fry the croquettes in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a tray lined with baking paper and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper and serve with aioli.
COOK’S TIP
- Steaming or baking the potatoes in their skin will prevent the mashed potato from becoming too wet.
