The taste of tender cod infused with the aromas of thyme, garlic, and bay leaf harmonizes with the creamy texture of mashed potatoes. The slight spiciness of black pepper and freshness of cilantro give the croquettes a refined character. These golden balls with a crispy crust are an ideal choice for an appetizer or main course, especially when paired with a light sauce.
