🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Drain the tuna thoroughly and flake it with a fork in a bowl. Add the cold mashed potatoes and mix until you get a homogeneous mixture.

  2. 2

    Add the finely chopped onion and chopped parsley. Mix gently to distribute the flavors evenly.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the beaten egg then the breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until you get a firm dough that holds together well.

  4. 4

    On a floured board, form balls the size of a walnut then flatten them into 1.5 cm thick patties. Lightly coat them in the reserved breadcrumbs.

  5. 5

    Arrange the croquettes on a baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up (crucial step for perfect cooking consistency).

  6. 6

    In a non-stick pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Carefully place the croquettes and brown them 3-4 minutes per side, turning only once.

  7. 7

    Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite sauce.

Tips & Tricks
  • Use firm, cold mashed potatoes for better consistency
  • Press the tuna to remove any excess moisture
  • Cook over medium heat for thorough cooking without burning
  • A thin layer of breadcrumbs is enough for crispiness
  • Serve with green salad, white rice or steamed vegetables
