A “croquette” is a small, typically rounded or oval-shaped food item made of a mixture of ingredients, such as meat, fish, vegetables, or cheese, that is often bound together with a thick sauce or mashed potatoes. The mixture is then coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried or baked until crispy. Croquettes are often served as appetizers or snacks and are popular in various cuisines around the world.
