Epicurial Europe: Dutch Dig Cosy Krokets

It’s crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and sounds like it might be French, but the Kroket is practically the national dish of the Netherlands.

This breaded, fried treat appears throughout Holland, showing up as low country haute cuisine and high-volume street food.

But there is more to the Kroket than you would think.

A croquette is a small fried roll containing mashed potatoes, minced meat, shellfish or vegetables, often encased in breadcrumbs. The croquette is usually shaped into a cylinder or disk, and then deep-fried. The croquette (from the French croquer, “to eat hastily”) was a French invention that gained world-wide popularity, both as a delicacy and as a fast food.
