Broccoli, potato, and tuna croquettes are a perfect mix, a genuine and very simple appetizer to make. Crunchy on the outside, soft and stringy on the inside, they are also very light because they are baked: a main course that can be served either hot or cold, perhaps at a buffet dinner with friends. Made this way, I'm sure they'll be a hit even with the little ones.
To prepare the broccoli, potato, and tuna croquettes, wash and cut the broccoli florets, also wash the potatoes and blanch or steam them until tender.
Drain the broccoli and let it cool slightly. Then, puree it with a kitchen mixer or a fork.
Peel the potatoes and mash them with a potato masher, then add them to the bowl with the broccoli.
Next, add the julienned mozzarella, tuna, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper if desired, and mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Shape the mixture into croquettes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake them in the oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve hot and enjoy!
You can store the broccoli, potato, and tuna croquettes for 2 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
You can fill the croquettes with ingredients of your choice like cubes of melting cheese or replace the tuna with cold cuts. If you prefer, you can replace the mayonnaise and serve them with accompanying sauces like yogurt sauce or a fresh guacamole.
