Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
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.
Drain tuna
Drain the canned tuna and flake it with a fork in a large bowl.
Chop parsley
Finely chop the parsley leaves. Set aside.
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.
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.
Shape croquettes
Using your hands, shape the tuna mixture into 12 equal-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Coat croquettes with flour
Place the flour in a shallow dish. Coat each tuna croquette in the flour, shaking off any excess.
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.
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!
