Seafood and potato croquettes

To obtain the best possible croquettes use only potatoes with medium starch content; this will give the resulting purée the perfect consistency for blending with the other ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
Mullet filets
250
g
Smoked swordfish
80
g
Boiled, peeled potatoes, still warm
4
Grated Parmigiano Reggiano
2
tablespoons
Breadcrumbs
as needed
Oil for frying
as needed
Parsley
as needed
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste

PREPARATION
1. Brown the fish filets in a sauté pan with very little oil for 5 minutes. Transfer the mullet to a large mixing bowl. Add the diced smoked swordfish, the potatoes (by passing them through a food-mill), the grated Parmigiano Reggiano, a sprinkling of ground pepper, a little chopped parsley and a pinch of salt.

2. Blend ingredients together thoroughly and then form the mixture into walnut-sized balls.

3. Roll the balls in the breadcrumbs and fry in plenty of hot oil. Once golden brown in colour, drain excess fat on paper towels.
