How do you keep croquettes from falling apart while cooking?

I love making croquettes, but mine always seem to fall apart in the pan! What’s the trick to keeping them together while cooking? Is it something with the ingredients or maybe how I’m handling them? Any tips would be super helpful! Thanks!

The key to keeping croquettes from falling apart is ensuring they’re properly chilled before frying. After shaping them, pop them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up. Also, make sure your binder (like egg or flour) is sufficient, and avoid overhandling them in the pan. Fry in hot oil so they form a crust quickly, which will help hold them together!

Hello! To keep croquettes from falling apart, make sure your mixture is well-chilled before frying! A quick chill helps them hold their shape. Also, try coating them in breadcrumbs for that crispy exterior. Fry them in hot oil, and don’t overcrowd the pan. Enjoy those delicious bites!
