Ingredients
  

For the Croquette Mixture

  • 4 –5 medium potatoes boiled
  • 1 cup boiled chicken shredded
  • 1 cup sweet corn
  • ½ cup spring onions finely chopped
  • 3 tsp paprika
  • 3 tsp salt adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp MSG optional
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp chicken powder
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For Coating

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

For Frying

  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions
 

  • Once the potatoes are fully boiled and tender, drain them well.
  • Mash the potatoes while still warm using a potato masher, ricer, or fork.
  • Make sure there are no large lumps, a smooth mash helps the croquettes hold together and gives a creamy interior.
  • Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly before mixing.
  • Add the mashed potatoes to a large bowl.
  • Add shredded chicken, corn, spring onions, paprika, salt, MSG, black pepper, white pepper, and chicken powder.
  • Mix until evenly combined.
  • Add cornstarch, egg, and cream cheese, then mix again.
  • Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese until just combined.
  • Take small portions of the mixture and shape into cylinders or oval croquettes.
  • Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to firm up, this helps prevent breaking while frying.
  • In one bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a thin slurry.
  • In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs and panko.
  • Dip each croquette into the slurry, then roll in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so it sticks well.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat (about 170–175°C).
  • Fry the croquettes in batches for 3–4 minutes, turning gently until golden brown and crisp on all sides.
  • Remove and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
  • Serve hot with ketchup, chilli garlic sauce, sweet chilli sauce, or garlic mayo.
  • Best enjoyed fresh while the cheese is still melty.
