Croquette
Croquette
These balls are croquette (Dutch=kroketten), made of smashed potatoes and some meat, covered with breadcrumbs. This is a typical Dutch snack for quick lunch. There is even an automatic croquette vending machine in Holland, that you just put a coin and grab the croquette.
Whatever type of snacks we have, we like to eat them with sambal (or chili paste). The best are with sambal ABC, of course, and also with raw bird peppers or cabe rawit (150.000 Scoville Heat Units).
