Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook and mash potatoes

Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

2
Drain tuna

Drain the canned tuna and flake it with a fork in a large bowl.

3
Chop parsley

Finely chop the parsley leaves. Set aside.

4
Zest and juice lemon

Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Cut the lemon in half and juice one half, reserving the juice for the aioli.

5
Mix croquette ingredients

Add the mashed potatoes, eggs, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the tuna. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

6
Shape croquettes

Using your hands, shape the tuna mixture into 12 equal-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

7
Coat croquettes with flour

Place the flour in a shallow dish. Coat each tuna croquette in the flour, shaking off any excess.

8
Fry croquettes

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Working in batches, carefully place the croquettes in the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

9
Drain and serve

Remove the croquettes from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon aioli for dipping. Enjoy!
