Fun Stuff > CHATTER
A Cooking Thread?
LTK:
Croquettes with dinner? As an ingredient? That's novel. Around here, they're most commonly eaten as snacks or a fast lunch, like spring rolls, or eaten on a bun like a meatball. You can get them in any snackbar in the country. Eating them as a substitute to potatoes would be unthinkable, given their reputation for being bad for your health, like most fast food.
Welu:
I was introduced to them as a side dish. I think they could be compared to chips with health, in how they're prepared, since they can be baked instead of deep fried. At least that's how my Mammy would make them from scratch. Can't get around them being mostly carbs but some days you want that.

They sound awesome. Love me some carbs! :-P
Lines:
I can see those being a good way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I've had some prepared that way before and they're not bad! Kind of want to try a potato, bacon, and cheese version.
I cooked mush for the first time yesterday for breakfast - it was pretty good! Not the most healthy thing in the world, considering it's fried in butter and then covered with maple syrup, but it was a decent substitute for pancakes. I am also still working on perfecting a home fries recipe... The first time I used red potatoes w/ onion, peppers, paprika, garlic, pepper, and a little salt and the flavor was perfect, but the potatoes would not cook through for whatever reason. This time I used yukon gold, but didn't have any onions or peppers and while the texture was great, the flavor was bland. So, hopefully the third time will be the charm?
Carl-E:
Mush is better (and less healthy) when fried in bacon grease.
But then again, what isn't?
