Ingredients (for 1 person)

<Croquette Ingredients>		<White Sauce Ingredients>

Potatoes (Mayqueen)	2	Milk	1 L(4 1/6cup)

Clams	2 or 3	Weak flour	250 g(8 3/4oz)

Corn	As required	Unsalted butter	250 g(8 3/4oz)

Asparagus	1 stick	Fresh cream	200 cc (0.85cup)

Prawns	3	Salt & pepper	Pinch

Mini tomato	1	<Sauce Ingredients>

Shredded cheese (Mozzarella cheese)	7 g(1/4oz)	Butter, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce	suitable amount

Salt & pepper	Pinch

Egg	1

Flour, breadcrumbs, salad oil	As required

White sauce	As required

Method

	<Preparation> Soak clams in water to remove salt. Boil the corn, prawns, clams, and asparagus, and chop finely. Boil the potatoes and mash them.

	<Make the white sauce> A: Melt the butter in a suitable saucepan and add weak flour a little bit at a time. Stir while heating for 20 to 30 minutes so that the mixture does not burn. Add milk and fresh cream to a separate saucepan and heat to about 70 (160). Combine with A and flavour with salt and pepper.

	Spread some mashed potato out on your hand. Add white sauce, shredded cheese, clams, prawns, asparagus and corn, and wrap inside the potato to make a croquette.

	Dip the potato croquette in flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs in order, and deep fry in oil heated to 180 (355). The white sauce and cheese inside the potato croquette will try to escape when heated so it is a good idea to make some holes in a few places with a skewer when heat has penetrated about half way into the croquette. *

	<Make the sauce> Add butter and ketchup to Worcestershire sauce and heat appropriately in a saucepan, mixing the ingredients together.

	Arrange the croquettes colourfully and garnish with mini tomatoes to finish.

One Point

* If small holes are made in a few places with a skewer, etc, the croquette loses its shape less easily.
