Croquettes are a classic menu item that made their debut in cooking literature as early as the 18th century. They originally stem from Ancient Roman rissoles, a deep-fried dish of spiced meat that is carefully formed by hand. Today, croquettes are most commonly made from mashed potatoes. Rather than throwing out leftover mashed potatoes -- which just aren't the same the next day -- transform them into potato croquettes. Serve potato croquettes at almost any meal, and adjust the recipe to suit even the most discerning palate.
Howard Johnson's has had superb chicken croquettes for decades---and now you can duplicate that great taste in the convenience of your own home. The signature recipe is simple to follow and requires easy-to-find ingredients, although you may have to run to the grocery store to get panko breadcrumbs. Nonetheless, in an hour and a half you will have your Howard Johnson's chicken croquettes.
