Great served as a side dish with roast chicken, pork chops or veal chops. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup vegetable oil |
1 8- to 9-ounce russet potato, unpeeled, cut into 1/3-inch cubes |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 1/4 cups (packed) grated gruyère cheese (about 5 ounces) |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or 2 teaspoons dried |
1 1/2 tablespoons minced cornichons or bread and butter pickles |
1 large egg yolk |
2 large eggs |
3 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless french bread |

1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add potato and onion. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Cool completely. Mix next 4 ingredients into potato mixture. Using moistened hands, form scant 1/4 cup mixture into 3-inch-long, 1-inch-wide cylinder for each croquette. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
