Note

If the mixture feels too sticky or difficult to shape, cover the bowl and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 to 40 minutes before forming the croquettes.

For a lighter version, you can bake the croquettes on a parchment-lined sheet at 400ÃÂ°F (200ÃÂ°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, though they won't be as crispy.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
