Smoked Trout Croquettes image

These bite-size mashed potato croquettes are filled with smoked trout, mozzarella, Parmesan, and chives. Freshly fried, they're just the kind of gooey, salty, and crispy finger food a cocktail party needs. But for easier hosting, the croquettes can be formed up to two days ahead of time before cooking.

Yield Makes about 60

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 medium russet potatoes (about 2 1/2 lb. total), peeled, quartered
Kosher salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup chopped chives
2 Tbsp. prepared horseradish
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs, lightly beaten, divided
8 oz. smoked trout, skin and any large pin bones removed, shredded
2 oz. low-moisture mozzarella, coarsely grated (about 1/2 cup)
2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
Canola or vegetable oil (for frying; about 6 cups)
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with cold salted water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium, covered, then reduce heat as needed to maintain a simmer until potatoes are tender, 20-30 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Mash warm potatoes with butter, then stir in Parmesan, chives, horseradish, pepper, 2 beaten eggs, and 1/2 tsp. salt until smooth. Fold in trout and mozzarella. Form potato mixture into about 60 round croquettes (about 2 Tbsp. each).
  • Place remaining 2 beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Place panko in another shallow bowl. Dip 1 croquette into egg, letting excess drip off, then roll in panko to coat. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining croquettes.
  • Pour oil into a large pot to a depth of 4". Heat over medium-high until it sizzles when you toss in a pinch of panko or a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°. Working in batches, fry croquettes, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 4-5 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season with salt. Serve immediately with lemon wedges alongside.
  • Do Ahead: Croquettes can be formed and coated 2 days ahead. Cover and chill on baking sheet.

I love these croquettes! They're so versatile and can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even a snack. I've made them with both fresh and smoked trout and they're always delicious.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used canned trout and they were still very flavorful. I served them with a tartar sauce and they were a hit.

I thought these were just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste and the croquettes were a bit dry. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of fish, such as salmon or tilapia.

These were delicious! I used fresh trout from the market and they were perfect. The croquettes were crispy and flavorful, and the trout was moist and flaky. I will definitely be making these again.

I've made these croquettes several times now and they're always a hit! They're so easy to make and they taste amazing. I love serving them with a dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or remoulade.

These smoked trout croquettes were an absolute delight! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect, with the crispy exterior and tender, flaky interior. The trout itself was perfectly smoked, giving the croquettes a wonderful depth of flavor
