REUBEN CROQUETTES

These are very good. My step-mom used to make these in the 80's. We would dip into a mustard dressing. Honey mustard would work. The thousand island works great also. Make sure you finely chop corned beef and sauerkraut, so the croquettes hold together. They make a nice appetizer or a nice luncheon with a salad. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

Tips:

To make the croquettes ahead of time, assemble them and place them on a baking sheet. Cover them tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to fry, remove the croquettes from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes before frying.
For a crispy coating, double-coat the croquettes in bread crumbs. First, coat them in a mixture of flour, eggs, and milk. Then, coat them in bread crumbs. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
Fry the croquettes in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a deep-fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the croquettes.
Serve the croquettes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include Thousand Island dressing, Russian dressing, or horseradish sauce.

Conclusion:

Reuben croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With their creamy filling and crispy coating, they are sure to be a hit with everyone.
