Directions:Croquettes:
Bring a medium-size pot of water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, coarsely grate the potatoes into a bowl of cold water.. Drain, and cook them in the pot of boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain again, pat dry using a paper towel, and place them in another bowl. Add eggs, flour, orange zest, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper and combine well. To form croquettes, roll 1 Tbs. of the potato mixture in the palms of your hands to form a ball, then flatten the ball slightly so that it is about 1/2 inch thick. Heat the oils in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the croquettes in batches of 6 or 8 for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Cover with foil to keep warm. If need be, reheat the croquettes by spreading them out in a single layer on a baking dish and heating them for 5 minutes in a pre-heated 375 degree oven.
Orange-Rosemary Mayonnaise:
Pour the orange juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pan, until the juice is reduced to a thick syrup. There should be about 1 1/2 Tbs. when reduced; let cool. Combine the mayonnaise and sour cream in a small bowl. Add the orange syrup, rosemary, and salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour before serving with croquettes. Enjoy! |
