MUM'S RISSOLES

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well together with your hands.
• If the mix is too wet add breadcrumbs.
• Roll into small balls (about the size of golfballs) and flatten slightly.
• Place small amount of oil in a frypan on medium heat.
• Fry until brown and firm.

CHEESE AND POTATO RISSOLES

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and mash in the bottom of the pot until no lumps remain.
• Put pot over low heat. Stir butter into the mashed potatoes; cook, stirring constantly, until the butter has melted and the potatoes are no longer moist. Spread potatoes into the bottom of a wide bowl and refrigerate until cooled completely, at least 30 minutes.
• Beat egg yolks into cooled potatoes; season with salt and white pepper. Stir Cheddar cheese and diced onion into the potatoes. Shape potato mixture into tennis ball-sized spheres, arrange into a baking dish, and refrigerate until chilled completely through, at least 1 hour.
• Beat eggs and water together in a bowl. Spread flour and bread crumbs into two separate wide bowls.
• Gently roll potato balls in flour to coat and shake to remove excess flour. Dip each into the beaten egg, turning to coat. Press each egg-coated ball into bread crumbs, again turning to coat on all sides. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded balls onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Deep-fry potato balls in batches in hot oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add more oil and return to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) between batches. Drain fried balls on a plate lined with paper towel.

RISSOLES

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together (except oil), this is best done with your hands.
• Shape into 4 or 6 round balls and dust with the flour.
• Heat the oil on high in a heavy based frying pan until the oil is very hot.
• Place the Rissoles in the hot oil.
• Don't over crowd your pan.
• Make sure the Rissoles do not burn.
• Turn the rissoles over when one side is browned and slightly crispy (make sure they don't burn).
• Cook the other side the same way, turn the heat down to medium and cook through.
• Depending on the thickness of the pan and the size of the rissoles, it may take about 3-4 minutes to cook the Rissoles on each side.
• Do not over cook the Rissoles.
• The cooking time would be similar to cooking American hamburgers.
• Serve with brown meat gravy and mashed potatoes with minted peas.

POTATO RISSOLES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes until tender; then mash them with the butter, and milk.
• Allow to cool slightly; then season with salt and pepper to taste and mix in the ham, parsley and scallions.
• Shape the mixture into slightly larger than golf ball sized portions, you should have 6-8 balls; roll each ball, to coat, in some flour.
• Heat a nice layer of the olive oil, perhaps an inch or so, in a non-stick skillet; fry rissoles (croquettes) in the oil, over medium heat, turning to make sure all sides become golden.
• When cooked, drain on paper towels; serve hot with your favorite seasoned white sauce or gravy.
• Prep and cooktimes noted above the ingredient list are approximate.

CHEESE AND POTATOES RISSOLE

Steps:

• Pare the potatoes and cut into eights. Place in a saucepan and cover with water. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain potatoes; press through a food mill or mash well. Place in a dry saucepan and add the butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and mixture is dry. Place in a bowl; refrigerate until cool. Beat in egg yolks, pepper and salt to taste. Add the cheese and stir until well mixed. Chill well.
• Shape with hands into 4-inch sausage shaped rolls; coat each roll well with flour. Beat the 2 eggs with 1/4 cup water until mixed. Dip potato rolls into eggs, then coat well with bread crumbs. Place on a cookie sheet and chill thoroughly. Fry in deep fat at 375°F degrees until brown; do not overcook. Drain on paper toweling, place on a platter. Garnish with chopped parsley.
• These may be kept warm in a 200 degree oven until served, if desired. This recipe may be prepared and refrigerated for 24 hours before frying. This amount makes about 8 servings.
