Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut 1 lb potatoes into fries, toss with 1 tbsp oil and salt, spread on a baking sheet. Bake until golden and crisp, about 25 minutes, shaking halfway.

  2. Step 2

    Chop 0.5 lb shrimp into small pieces. In a bowl, mix shrimp with 1 egg, 0.5 cup breadcrumbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Shape the shrimp mixture into 4 oval croquettes. Press each into remaining 0.5 cup breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium. Cook croquettes until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total, turning gently.

  5. Step 5

    Stir together 0.5 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp chopped pickles, and a squeeze of lemon juice to make tartar sauce.

  6. Step 6

    Serve croquettes with fries and tartar sauce, with lemon wedges on the side.
