This oven croquettes with leftover patty filling requires only few ingredients and it’s very easy to make. It’s healthier as cooked in the oven. They are crispy on the outside and potatoey on the inside with light spiciness from the patty filling.
When I ended up having some leftover filling after cooking vegan Jamaican Patties on the previous day, I knew I was going to make croquettes with it. Thinking about how to use up leftovers makes me feel excited☺
