Croquetas de Jamon (Ham Croquettes)

Ham croquettes are a perfect snack any time of day. pinit

Ham croquettes are the perfect food. Whether they’re smooshed between saltines, served with a bowl of chicken noodle soup or alongside birthday cake, we eat croquettes morning, noon, and night. The thing is, making them is a labor of love in itself. It takes several hours(for optimal results, at least a day) of prep time before they are ready for the frying pan. The reason being that you want to freeze or semi-freeze the “masa” in each stage of their creation so that you can shape them properly in stage one, coat them with cracker meal properly in stage two, and fry them without issues in stage three. The key to a great tasting “croqueta” is the balance of ham and the thick bechamel base. This recipe makes the most savory croquette that will withstand the frying process without falling apart.
