step 3
Take a large skillet and fill it with about 2 inches of Vegetable Oil (as needed). Heat it up over medium-high heat.
step 4
Pan-fry​ the croquettes in 2 batches of 4 so that the pan doesn't get overcrowded. They need to cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side to get golden brown.
step 5
Remove them to a plate lined with paper towel to blot them and repeat with the second batch. Once they are all done, serve them immediately and enjoy!
