Potato and Chicken Croquettes

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in salted water until soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes until smooth. Set aside to cool.

2. 2

   While the potatoes are boiling, cook the chicken breast in boiling water until fully cooked, about 12-15 minutes. Remove, let cool, and shred or finely chop the chicken.

3. 3

   Finely shred the cabbage, grate the carrot, and finely chop the tomato.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded chicken, cabbage, carrot, and tomato.

5. 5

   Add the cornflour, salt, black pepper, and chili powder to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

6. 6

   Beat the egg in a small bowl. Add half of the beaten egg to the potato-chicken mixture and mix to help bind the ingredients. Reserve the remaining egg for coating.

7. 7

   Shape the mixture into small croquettes (oval or cylindrical shapes) using your hands.

8. 8

   Dip each croquette into the remaining beaten egg to coat.

9. 9

   Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

10. 10

    Fry the croquettes in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

11. 11

    Remove the croquettes and drain on paper towels.

    Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
