Notes
A perfect use for left-over mashed potatoes. Croquettes typically have a base of mashed potatoes and then are enhanced with seasoning and a protein, shaped and rolled in breadcrumbs, then deep-fried. Common shapes are "log shape" (1 inch wide, 3 inches long) and pear shaped. I have chosen to use the same mixture but to shape them into "patties." This way I don't have to deep-fry them but can sauté them. They can be used as an appetizer or an entrée.
