Croquettes

By , About.com Guide

Definition: What are Croquettes? In the culinary arts, a croquette is a small patty, ball or cylinder of puréed salmon, potatoes or some other item that is usually breaded and deep-fried.

Croquettes are bound together with a starch such as potatoes, rice or bread crumbs, and sometimes a basic white sauce.

In addition to potatoes and salmon, croquettes can be made from other fish such as white fish, tuna or mackerel, as well as ground meats such as beef, veal or chicken. Crabcakes and salmon cakes are typical examples of croquettes.
