Tuna Potato Croquettes

Submitted by KelBel

"Simple, quick and comforting, these golden cakes go well with a spoonful of reduced-fat sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped fresh chives. Try mixing in a bit of chopped dill, capers or lemon zest, or using canned salmon for a variation. From arcamax.com."

I think we'll give these another try. The mix was hard to form because it was pretty watery. No way I was going to get them 1/2 inch thick so we lost the crispiness that would have been better if thiner. Good flavor though, I added chives and capers. Maybe we'll add some bread crumbs next time so that would be firmer and not fall apart. But a nice creative and easy dish.
