Tuna Croquettes

The uncoated croquette mixture can be shaped and refrigerated up to 24 hours ahead, covered with plastic wrap. The fully breaded croquettes can be frozen on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid, then transferred to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Fry directly from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to cooking time.

Store cooked croquettes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 400°F oven for 10-12 minutes to restore crispness—avoid microwaving, which will make the coating soggy. For best texture, arrange on a wire rack over a baking sheet while reheating to allow air circulation.
