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.

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.

[email protected]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.

[email protected]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.

[email protected]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.
