CROQUETTES (POTATO)

2 cups mashed potatoes

1 egg-white

4 tablespoons cream

Salt and pepper

1 teaspoon onion-juice

Cooked meat, cheese or

2 egg-yolks vegetable

Crums and flour

To the mashed potato add cream or rich milk, onion-juice and salt and pepper to taste. Beat over the fire until smooth and hot. Remove, slightly cool, and add the beaten egg-yolks. Form into cylinders, or cone shapes; make a depression in each, and into this put a teaspoon of creamed chicken, minced highly seasoned meat, grated cheese, or a vegetable in cream sauce. Press the potato around the filling. Beat the egg-white slightly, dilute with a tablespoon of water, roll the croquettes in flour, egg and then in seasoned bread-crums, and fry in deep fat.
