Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil the 2 large potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. Step 2

    Grate the 1 medium carrot and finely chop the 2 tbsp fresh parsley. Flake the 1 cup cooked fish into a large bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Add the potatoes, carrot, parsley, and 0.5 cup shredded cheddar to the fish. Season with salt and pepper and mash until well combined.

  4. Step 4

    Shape the mixture into 8 oval croquettes. Place the 1 cup breadcrumbs in a shallow dish and beat the 1 egg in another.

  5. Step 5

    Dip each croquette into the beaten egg, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

  6. Step 6

    Heat the 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  7. Step 7

    Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
