Questions

What is Kroket Kentang?

Crispy golden potato croquettes filled with savory seasoned minced chicken and vegetables. This reference files it under Indonesian appetizer: made on the stovetop, rated medium and about 50 minutes start to finish.

How hot should the oil be for Kroket Kentang?

For Kroket Kentang, the target internal temperature is 165 F (about 75 C), given in step 2. A probe thermometer removes the guesswork. The frying oil is held at 350 F (about 175 C) in step 6. Hotter scorches the outside before the inside cooks, and cooler turns it greasy.

How do I know when Kroket Kentang is done?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 6: cook until deep golden brown. A reading of 165 F on a thermometer settles it.

What can I use instead of shallots in Kroket Kentang?

The entry for Kroket Kentang calls for 1/4 cup shallots, minced. In its place: Use half as much yellow or red onion plus a small clove of garlic.

Can I use ground beef or pork instead of ground turkey in Kroket Kentang?

Yes, at the same weight. Beef and pork carry more fat, so skip any oil the recipe adds for browning and drain the pan if it pools. As written, the entry for Kroket Kentang uses 1/2 lb ground chicken.

Does Kroket Kentang contain eggs?

Yes: 2 eggs, beaten. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten and eggs. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
